WoW isn't a MMO then because of all the different servers to choose from! Only so many people can be in a cell!

WoW is an mmorpg because a massive amount of people can interact with each other in a massively expansive world

diablo 3 is an action rpg, because it is not massive, and only 4 people can be in a game at max, and the social aspect is very very dry, oh and it's a totally different genre if I didn't already mention that

hope this helps

with this logic mmos dont exist

oh so my logic that mmorpgs are mmorpgs and action rpgs are action rpgs is flawed?

hmm guess I need to rethink my life then huh

But it can have as many people as it want, logged on, waiting, and always having the option to join not to mention the HUGE action house that interacts with every single person.

WoW just spreads everyone out through servers

auction

it's not massive multiplayer...by definition it is not, what are you not getting here? it could be the most popular game of all time with a billion people online and only 4 people can be in a game

BY DEFINITION that is not massive, it's a multiplayer online ACTION RPG, not massive..

by definition of the genre, diablo 3 is an action rpg that is always online, it is not massive

here I'll repeat it again, only 4 people max =/= massive, it is not, nor will it ever be massive

ok

shin megami tensei 4 will be the best atlus game don't think I've forgotten

verb'd



My point is: I say a game name fallowed by "mmo" and 95% of the people out there will know what I mean. The other 10% will argue over semantics while the remaining 2% will either say or really want to say something about my percents being off.
