NOTE: my appologies for using the "argue all you want phrase" it was not intended to be a threat or start a fight, but is a commonly used phrase. In the future I will be more carefull of how i phrase my titles....

Basic principal of a MMORPG is:

Massive multi player.........check
Play a character and increase their stats thru XP..............check
Interact with other players........................check
play in a world with other players.................check.
aquire wealth and items................check

MWO has all of the above, you play a pilot increase their skills and your character gets better at what they do, similiar to WoW, WAR, SWTOR, AoC etc.....no difference, just that it is in first person mode.

Planetside and Battlefield are FPS. Do not increase stats, jump in at any time and play a match, log out character resets.......that is the key...character resets.

Regardless how you want to spin it, MWO will be and is a MMORPG.

In many posts ppl have gone ouit of their way to correct or tell ppl how this is not an MMO or MMORPG, I beg to differ on the subject and wanted to open a discussion with ppl about this subject...

That is known that there will be 12 v 12 ...

12 v 12 is not massive.

Under your rules, any game where you level up in multiplayer, including Battlefield 3, Call of Duty, Diablo 3, DeathSpank, are all MMORPGs.

[Albinostorm]

Actually I'd call it an mmofps before rpg, since one the the defining features of most rpgs is some sort of quest system. A feature I've heard no mention of. Just my 2 cbills.

[CeeKay Boques]

That being said, if the planetary works the way I hope, you're correct. This is MMORPG, and the Game is the "Instances".

If your not playing in the same server as me you don't count towards the massive, sorry.

It's not any more of an MMORPG than chromehounds or armored core 5. In fact it is not one at all, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

[EdOWar]

I think a key thing you're missing is a persistent world. Can I hop in my mech and run around a wide open world, sort of like jumping into your ship in EVE and flying around the galaxy? If so, then I'd agree that it's an MMORPG. If not, then it sounds more like a MMO team shooter, essentially.

second yes agree even Battlefield 3 will always have more ppl on a battlefield (64 ppl) and it's still no mmo...

Oh I misunderstood what you said lol....

I thought you meant as of right now there are 24 ppl in game.

[Heretron]

This is a Car Racing game!

You sit in a cockpit....check!
There are roads....check!
You can increase throttle...check!

[Draelren]

MMO? Yes.

MMORPG? No, fail logic.

[SNOWHOUND]

in battlefield your character resets?
hummm.

i beg to differ - you gain xp, unlock ranks, unlock weapons and attachments.
its persistent.
your character does not reset as you keep all unlocks.

mmofps would be more fitting
