One thing I’ve always find myself thinking is,: Is a mmorpg really necessary?
Don’t get me wrong here, I enjoy playing online role-playing games with my friends. Because that’s most of the times the only thing you do.
An MMORPG , an “ Massive” Multiplayer online role-playing game , they are really not that massive , not even in a crowded town or raid.
I think it sums up to about 20 to 30 people tops, unless by massive they meant the environment. So correct me if I’m wrong. But what I am trying to say is that it just as good could be a Offline-game on Lan Mode, because in 80% of the cases you won’t interact with the other players, because either they are just plain idiots, jerks and/or just ignore you all together or don’t even speak proper English.
I don’t know about other people but, I only play MMO’s with friends and sometimes with players who cross our path and know how to be civil and cool

it’s massive because it puts in the social aspect of gaming. hello kitty online won’t be considered an mmorpg if it didn’t involve people in a more community-oriented fashion; same thing with WoW and other mmos. just because you don’t interact with people you don’t know doesn’t mean other people shun that aspect of gaming as well.
