Those aren't MMORPGs. WOW barely qualifies anymore. Its more of a dungeon crawler.
I believe the problem is the lack of a true MMORPG engine. Maybe CSE's engine will be sold to power more true MMORPGs?
Now you know why everything under the sun is listed as MMOs here. Otherwise, there will be a lot fewer games to talk about.
Paradoxically, people here don't talk about specific games much anyway. The forum is more for arguing about age-old feuds like pvp vs pve and so on.
Actually there are quite a few game related threads going on at any given moment, but I have noticed you rarely opine in most, and when you do it's just to derail them with one of your pet topics.
In fact, just did a quick head count, 13 game related threads on the front page of discussions, 7 not.

So about 1/3 of the MMORPG forum is not talking about MMORP games .. sounds about right. Did you take the number of posts in each into account? I bet that skew the results some more to the "not game discussion" side.
Technically, there is no consensus of what a MMO is. There is disagreement between some forum poster here, with the game list on this site, and also the game classification on massivelyop.com, not to mention superdata, game reviewers, and so on.
In fact, are you even surprised that someone else (in this case HeyYouVideoGame) define a MMO different than you do?
Do keep telling him he is wrong though. Please let me know if you have any effect on what he believes. That should be interesting.
Lol. We should start posting something like this every time he commits an offence.

This just in: gamers enjoy discussing gameplay mechanics as much as individual games themselves. It's an epiphany! A sign of the changing world zeitgeist!

You are not paying attention.
You miss "gamers enjoy discussing classification of games as much s individual games themselves".
