CORPG vs MMORPG

LOL what if the players decided to do so on a regular basis? They could call it "Dune Sea Sunday" and from 12-4 server time meet up and have it out. It is entirely in our power to do so, no one is stopping us.

It is clearly time for you to google the definition of MMO. Here I'll help spell google for you because you seem to have a hard time grasping anything. Gee Oh Oh Gee Ell Eee

It's still not typical of any other content in the game, which is what I was referring to.

You should go look up "common sense", then apply that to "multiplayer gaming on a massive scale".

Hint: It implies lots and lots of people playing together.

Well said OP. You know you hit the nail on the head when the fanboys react the way they have to a well reasoned post.

mmo means where a big amount of people share the same gaming world/worlds... that's the definition

how the developer makes the mmo is up to them

how the PEOPLE view the game as an mmo...is also up to them

I like having a strict solo gameplay as well as grouping with others if I want. I like seeing other people on the same world as me while I'm questing. I love that fact about mmos. That's what I always thought an mmo was. Just...other people on the same world as you at the same time. That's all mmo is, nothing more. All other things are more convenience. So TOR is more a solo friendly mmo...big deal. BTW..there is LOTS of stuff for groups but most of the time it's the people that don't utilize it correctly. It's like going "I want a group!! somebody group with me " "I will group with you buddy! " "pfft..i dont REALLY wanna group I just want to SAY I want to so I have something to complain about on forums later on"

you have unique ways to have a conversation in a group and see who gets to talk based on what decision that person makes if it's the better one...they go. You also get more social points if yours is the one chosen. You can also join groups to. But people don't WANT to group in this game really. They are living their own personal kotor just in an mmo world where other people are playing with them at the same time. hence mmo

people are playing together...you see other people don't you? That's what an mmo is. You don't like it? leave simple as that. Staying around torturing yourself and not having fun with anything you are doing..that's pretty mental if you ask me. Just keep going back to something you hate to keep wanting to prove your point. Why are you here? Killing time at work? Waiting for your sub to end? Waiting for it to run out?

People are not playing together, certainly not on a massive scale, and just being on the same server does not constitute playing together.. They are playing alone in their own little room hidden from the rest of the world.

It's nice seeing other random people out in the world and all that... but that doesn't make it massively multiplayer. That just means the game has persistent world elements.

ummm....

isn't that what mmos are made for? We are connected through the internet playing together. What they NEED to do is remove instancing and merge every light server, which WILL come after server transfers, and have the lfg tool cross server and do cross server planet stuff.

If you want to place blame, head over to Bliz because they changed the mindset of modern MMO playerbase. Case in point, I was messing around on Tera since I have 15 days left. Someone was asking to group up for normal questing. The very next reply was "Why, you can solo all the quests." That is the modern mindset that WoW created.

BW has made it very group friendly in terms that you don't suffer penalties and they even reward you with social pts. The problem people don't want to be social. Take a look at the modern world; facebook, twitter, text messaging. Try this out next to you log in. /1 Does anyone want to group up for some missions besides heroics?
