I know it will be difficult so long after the fact, but do you think you could dig up a reference from 1997 to Diablo being referred to as an MMORPG? |

"Mode(s) Single-player, multiplayer" I'm taking a shot of vodka every time I see a reference to a game being a WoW or Diablo clone. |

I play with as many people in PoE as I did in any MMO outside of raiding... In fact it's easier to group with people in PoE than any other MMO. Wiki is a public editable website and to base any argument or solely on that website shows a high level of ignorance. Please take your intolerance and trollish behavior elsewhere. I’m sure if you sit down and think for a few minutes you’ll agree this site is full of enough garbage, hate, and other negative material that we don’t need more. If someone else has a different opinion than yourself, you should accept it or potentially provide a solid and well thought out counter argument. |

Originally posted by Painlezz The technical definition for a mmo is not about 'towns' its about massively multiplayer online together, having a game that purely consists of thousand of instances and a lobby is not a mmo. If you went down that route you could say any game that allows you to queue in a lobby is a mmo because many thousands queue online and join together in instances. The intent behind the term is to describe massively multiplayer together. What you finally define as 'massive' is up for debate, but its not 5/50/100 in 2013. rpg/mmorg history: Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW (9500 hrs on main mage)> oblivion > LOTR (480 Hunter) > Rift (230 hours mage) > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(350 elementalist) Now playing GW2/Diablo 3/Rift Waiting Archeage. |

Can you point to where I attempted to redefine those terms? Can you tell me what I attempted to redefine them to? I think you may have mixed up some posts by different authors. I've asked a lot of questions in this thread but I have not made any definitions of my own. |

OK I'm looking at it. The entire content of post #41 is me asking Laughing-Man a question about something he said in post #14.

basically this "1000" player thing is about the interaction tho. standing around in orgrimmar with your whole server spamming it (and being there too) is concidered massive enough.
anyway, warhammer online had quite the massive interaction (RVR), tho we do not need to argue if it worked or not :) planetside also features quite the MASSIVE battles
and i think some of those asian games (maybe lineage? not sure anymore) with their city siege and so on also feature some nice masses of players.
diablo was NEVER EVER concidered an mmo, and yea, i was around when it was released, dont bother asking. i played it, with ONE friend on my playstation. i also played diablo 2 then when it was released with some more friends (PC this time), but we still did not name it mmo because i dont think that term was actually established those days.
i think that term basically came up and "cool" with everquest, before that..... we did not tzalk about mmorpgs. we talked about rpgs and multiplayer games (NWN for example, baldur's gate and so on)
and seriously, who the hell called PoE an mmo. and why do we feed the trolls?
ps: obviously not all my comments are refering to the quoted post. it's just my entry point here :P "believe me, mike.. i calculated the odds of this working against the odds that i was doing something incredibly stupid… and i did it anyway!" |

OK MMOGamer71, I think I've allowed you to display your lack of reading comprehension in a sufficiently embarrassing fashion. I'll stop attempting to engage you in discussion now. |

Originally posted by Banquetto Yes, you attempt to get a 1997 link to prove Diablo is an MMORPG. I point to a link from wiki and it's not good enough for you and I have the reading issue?
FYI a link from 1997 with a discription of "online play" and "Diablo" is easy to find as well as definitions of MMO and MMORPG and Diablo fits them all. I'm willing to guess the term MMORPG was not even used in 1997 (Everquest 1999), thus your asking for a link with MMORPG and Diablo that does not exsist. I'm taking a shot of vodka every time I see a reference to a game being a WoW or Diablo clone. |

We could probably all agree that no true MMORPG has had a full OFFLINE campaign (not D3 where you still have to log in but can play solo like any other MMO).. If they added the ability to play Skyrim cooperatively with 4 people, it would not make it an MMO.. Without getting literal and starting another piss fest, I'll just say that the genre probably depends on more than just "how many people you currently see and can chat with on your screen".. I'm sure the major data type (client side or server side) would have something to do with it as well..
From my understanding.. Single Player games with Multiplayer functions are not MMO's (Carl of Duty's, Civilization, Starcraft, etc. you already know what they are) I would consider PoE an MMO simply by the fact of how much data is actually server side and lack of a true single player offline experience..

I dont think amount of data is relevant IMO, you can apply a test to that and prove that you can have a game with an infinite amount of data server side but with evey single person playing on their own. The true test is how many people play together in real time in the same instance and compare that against the current average, so now in 2013 you could not really say 1000 instances with 5 people together each is massively multiplayer but I think you could argue that > than say 100 is significant in that a group of 100 people in real life is significant etc
