A rather pathetic question. Yes, you play with various people around the world. Party and quest, not to mention a grind. No storyline or filling gameplay. Now it's my turn are you qualified to even be called a gamer?
"i have a lvl 26 maplestory warrior lvl 9 asda story archer and a adventure quest mage lvl 15 and my xfire is my bro's"
Umm yes MapleStory is a mmo.
Seriously. Do you know what mmo stands for? But yeah last time I checked MapleStory is an Online Multiplayer game that is fairly large. It does have several servers with quite a few players. So yeah it does qualify as a MMO, even though it is 2D. I actually think the 2D aspect makes the game somewhat unique and the characters are so cute.
MMO = Massive Multiplayer online.......
It all applies to MapleStory.
I'm so sorry to inform you but Maple does count as an MMO........ (Srsly)
Hmmm...MMO = A game which is played online with other players. A game which you have a account too where you typically "level up" skills or combat. Which means...MapleStory *gasp* is a MMO! Wow..and learn to spell please...if thats "seriously" I would take look at that..
yes its an mmorpg why shoudn't it be ?
Yes it is a MMO, no it is NOT a MMORPG. Just take a look at the game, from the "RPG" it just borrowed the most basic engines. The quests and NPCs don't make you feel like you're actually playing a character. They have no depth, the game has no solid background story, even because none of these aspects is interesting for Nexon to gain money. Actually this is pretty much a chat room disguised as a RPG just like most of the other "MMORPGs" that are being launched lately. If a RPG for you is just about hacking and slashing to level up, you really need to review this concept.
In the end, it is just an endless ridiculous race to reach the highest level and look cool just to show off to your friends and laugh at lower leveled people. Buying their items makes your life easier, that's how they steal money from your pockets. They make playing this game and growing in it a need for their players, not an accessory.
Seriously are you really asking this question? obviously its a MMO, look at the website your on MMOrpg.com...
of course! do u even know what MMO means?

Some people just shouldnt have access to the internet....
Maybe I'm wrong(which I probably am), but I think he's refering to MapleStory being way to instanced to be refered as an mmo(like Guild Wars sometimes is).
It is totally an MMO. A fun one too.
I'm waiting on 3D version but still an MMO right now.
It is not a MMO. It is a MOG (Multiplayer Online Game).
It is to frikkin small to be considered Massive!
it is a mmo and a mmorpg. nobody anywhere is able to say otherwise, they are simply not qualified (including this site).
aside from the op lacking the intelligence of a gnat, they were probably referring to the fact that THE GAME IS LISTED ON MMORPG.COM!
if its online its a mmorpg, there is no distinction to be made and this site is by no means an authority on anything except possibly trolling. cod4=role soldier, UNREAL=role combatant, MADDEN=role football player, WWII online=role soldier, SAMP=role thug, i can do this all day. the acronym was stupid the second it was conceived, this site capitalized on the stupidity and continues to to this very day. as evident in this very thread.

massively= gotta break it down, starting word is massive which =having mass. do all those zeroes and ones actually possess mass? i think not, the only way the word makes sense is in terms of distribution and the fact that it is outside the basement i suppose it could be said that most games are massively distributed since they are on more than 2-3 machines.
multiplayer= doesnt make much sense to have an online single player game now does it?
online= connects through the internet....brilliant
role=ill just use a source older than the internet and steal their definition: 1 a (1): a character assigned or assumed <had to take on the role of both father and mother> (2): a socially expected behavior pattern usually determined by an individual's status in a particular society b: a part played by an actor or singer2: a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process <played a major role in the negotiations>
so yea if i pretend im i am a base ball player every time i take a dump i AM in fact role playing.
playing=pairs with role, suppose it means you are not dead serious about the role.
game= pretty much amounts to toy.
{ Mod Edit }
another brainless thread.
YES it's a mass multiplayer Online Game ,
it's a MMO
may be it's not MMORPG
Cuz really maple won't count as a role playing game
dose this count as an mmo? srsly....

agree
I disagree, MapleStory might not be a very good mmorpg but it is one.
I would agree that that statement. I think if they actually had a server designed for a p2p pay model it would be very interesting to see how well it would do.
