It's not an mmo. You'll never see hundreds of players at one time in the game ever. It offers absolutely no massively multiplayer gameplay at all. And if you disagree, well too bad. Mmo is defined. It has nothing to do with persistence, grouping, questing, leveling or role playing.
Mmo was first used to describe Ultima online. That game had at least 500+ people in an area at one time when I was playing. It was used to separate it from standard multiplayer games. So, using UO, the game that literally defined the genre as a player quantity base point, it's pretty safe to say an mmo requires hundreds of players to qualify as massive. As technology moves forward our definition of massive is supposed to grow bigger, not smaller. Calling 30 to 100 player games massive is just ridiculous.
UO wasn't the first MMO though, and many MMOs these days don't muster more than 50 players in any one place at one time, even hub based ones. Sorry to break it to you, but your idea of what an MMO is, is not even antiquated.. it just ... never was. There are games that utilize much fewer players in a much larger space that are on the list as an MMO.... and just go through MMORPG.coms list of games... the division deserves to be here much more than many of the others.
UO was not the first mmo, but it is the game that literally defined mmo.
Hate ts to break it to you, but many mmos have hundreds of people in an area. And just because people don't happen to be in that area at that time doesn't make it an mmo.
Also, the game list on this site is not an mmorpg game list. It is just a list of games that the community enjoys. I see problem with the division being added to the games list along with the other non mmo games.
and my idea of mmo s correct... You're a newbie to mmo obviously. Listen to those of us who are trying to educate you instead of telling those with experience what's going on. You look like an ass.
LOL no..... you should learn a little something about MMOs. There is no 100s of players. The first ACTUAL mmo didn't have anywhere near 100 players at its start when they coined the term as Massively Multiplayer. lern 2 MMO nub

That is not what the list said.
It has specific label next to EVERY GAME.
For example, next to Warframe, it said "MMOTPS". It does not say "some other type of games peopel here enjoy".
Whatever. Warframe isn't an mmo and you chose that as an example because deep down inside, you also know it's not an mmo. At this point I think the mods are just as guilty as any troll that lashes out because of you.
I'd also like to point out there are single player games on the list. But I forgot... it doesn't support your argument so let's ignore xendoblade chronicles on there. Heck, torchlight must be an mmo too.

nah .. i chose that as an example to show that this site does not believe MMO needs to be massively MP.
I know that it is not massively MP. But hey, i also know that the "MMO" label means nothing today, and certainly games with that label does not have to be massively MP.
You need to separate "MMO" and "massively multiplayer". They are no longer the same thing.
So MMOs went from digital citizenship in a shared reality to Match.com for powergamers.
Got it.

For example, I like MMORPGs. Currently, there aren't any MMORPGs out that I enjoy and there haven't been for nearly 4 years now. I miss playing MMORPGs and so I've been looking for a new one for a while now.
Based on this maybe you don't like mmorpgs....
No, they just haven't made any for years now outside of average theme parks.
So much potential wasted.
Oh so you are just one of those bitter old school vets who the genre passed by without even a blink...
At least he is an old school vet - you on the other hand come off as a bitter troll.
