PSO2 JP Servers coming back in June.

[ShinMaruku]

Online Action RPG, or even Co-op Online Action RPG?

Exactly.

People are tossing words they hear and not think about far too loose. Let's keep standards people.

[Yden]

you havent play mmos by OGplanet have you?

Nexon is the same way with no weekend staff.

[windorf]

MMO's key word is MASSIVELY.
No where is this game massive outside of the lobbies where people generally fap about. In the actually game play ay most you will have is 11 other people with you and most of the time you have 3 others with you, is that massive? No one of the key criteria for MMO is you play in expansive zone with hundreds of people exploring. This game is a instanced co-op mult iplayer game, which can allow for much smarter mechanics and designs than the standard MMO will get. (Wildstar looking like a disco,wow having keep out of da fiah)

Too much people are throwing that word around too lightly. We need a hard definition because this game in no way behaves like a MMO.

Yea that makes sense. I wasn't trying to pick sides or anything. I was just curious. And I assumed it was massive because there was many of blocks full and what not. However, I can see you point that inside the quests it's rather limited. But that can be up for debate though. Unless there is something that says for massive to take place there has to be everyone running around and killing stuff all together. If you can't then it's very possible to debate it being an MMO.

[ShinMaruku]

Weekend staff is generally automation for most games.

[Gama]

online rpg.

pso2 is pretty much the only online game i know that dosen't make me feel sleepy.

[Skyly]

There was this same discussion for PSU. This is a MMO. Just cause there isn't a billion people on one area doesn't take away from the fact that all PSO games are MMOs. 2 million unique IDs. MPAs.. Lobbies. Etc

[ShinMaruku]

If there is no billion people in a area it's not a MMO. It's a online co-op rpg. 2 million unique ids? Ha DFO has 300 million of that and it's not a MMO. Stop diluting the worth of that word.

[Gama]

as if they could reach those numbers with japanese folk alone...

Ok, you have never played a MMO released after 2005 or something.

Every single MMO is 8-25 man raids.

Hell, FF14 is 8 man raids, which is less than a full MPA and it's a MMO.

99% of your time spent inside of any recent MMO is spent inside dungeons with a limited amount of people. They aren't massive anymore either.

If FF14 is a MMO, PSO2 is a MMO.

[The Walrus]

It's a multiplayer online action rpg, not an MMO.
