This is not an MMO, it's just another 8v8 fps arcade shooter.

Calling this shell of a game an MMO is false advertising.

the game was never advertised as an MMO. If you had paid attention you would have known it was an arena shooter

No problem, I didn't pay...

Arcade shooter and you paid $120.

HAHAHAHA !!!

And just FYI, if you read the previews on gaming sites this is most certainly being advertised as an MMO.

Pretty much every game that has multiplayer online with a lot of people gets called an MMO these days by some unaware publisher or video game site. It's quite sad. GW1 was caled an MMO even though the devs repeatedly said it wasn't. People call LoL a MMO when it is a Moba not an MMO.

The OP is called "KingDerp"... and you expect an intelligent post? ;)


Seriously now, Community Warfare will probably change things but we're still a ways off from that.

That being the case, there's going to be more than a few folks disappointed in what this is. :(

Meh. Typical pre-pubescent internet troll; pull up his posts. Best not to feed it.

Can't make a bad game better by being a fanboi.

LOL, look at what the fanbois did to Garriott.

He's a pariah now, no one wants to work with him.

Community warfare not implemented yet. Get back to us on this opinion then. Besides it is a sim, not arcade, not a shooter and all three can be MMOs. MMO just stands for massive multiplayer online anyways so it is a blanket term.

It is not a blanket term.

It means an ONLINE playerbase that is MASSIVE.

If what you are trying to claim were true then all crappy FPS games would be MMOs.

Community Warfare is not in yet. I would suggest you try reading the Dev Blogs in the Developer's Cornor section of the forums. There they outline many future plans about the game, including the territory-based Commnity Warfare system with persistent/dynamic land holdings.

... it will be massive, multiplayer, and Online, but there will not be raiding quests against AI Orcs.

You're reading articles written by confused people then. Every time I've seen someone ask the devs if this is an MMO or not they flat out stated it is not.

I will say that I was expecting community warfare to be an early, high priority feature not something with a nebulous 2013 release.

No one said s.h.i.t. about fantasy orcs...
Don't try to pidgeon hole me, I don't play those swords and sorcery games.

Saying they have plans is all well and good but this is a fast burtnout shooter as it sits and should have never been released to public consumption this early in it's development.
