IS IT AN MMO?

[UnLucky]

It's about as much of an MMO as WoW would be if you removed everything except the starting town. Every instance would use the dungeon finder and teleport you directly there and back.

No open world PVP, or rather no open world period, no camping respawns on field bosses since there are no fields to begin with, and there's no way to actively run any content with anyone who isn't in the same party or raid as you. Even within the exact same town as everyone else since it's the only one in the game, you won't see more than 10% of the online population.

Basically it would be a custom WC3 map.

who fucking cares?

I think you care.

Pretty sure the "massive" in MMORPG simply refers to a virtual space that any more than some hundred of people can be logged in to at one time.

How many people you specifically can play and defeat monsters in a personal space with at any one point in time isn't really relevant.

who fucking cares?

So goddamn edgy I think I cut my eyeballs just reading it.

Anyway, PSO2 is an Online Roleplaying Game. Nothing "massive" about it, truthfully.

Sometimes I wish PSO2 would share similarities, mainly world exploration as apposed to PSU's Linear mapping, or the usual world zones. We need more larger explorable and interact-able lobbies

[Indignation Judgment]

It's played Massively.
It has Multiplayer.
It's Online.
It's a Role
Playing
Game.

It's not open world, but so is Vindictus and people aren't chewing at each other for that.
Or Dragon Nest.
Or Lunia. Does anybody remember Lunia?



No. I don't want over 50 million players in my screen. My computer can barely handle PSO2.

And now, there IS server-wide cooperation. Have you forgot about falz yet?

The scale of it!

We travel both time and space to do our missions, and we've fought Elder who originally is as big as a planet.
Most MMOs only take place on a single planet, with rather small monsters in comparison to Elder's full size.

[NoiseHERO]

it's not an MMORPG.

it's an MMOARPG! : D

So is this going to be able the semantics of "Massive" or just being stubborn about your stance on something pointless in general.

But yeah who cares, this game is just a clone of a game, that's a clone of a game that took major influences from a game that stole ideas from PSO that stole ideas from diablo or some shit. The importance is at the bottom of the foodchain within it's own series.

Interactable? Yes.
Although we have "My room's" for that.
Larger? no.
