Because you can have 100 players on a continuously running persistent server with persistent characters, characters that you earn gear for, level up and earn skills.

lol....

100 players on a server....ROFL...... yeah it's possible, but in reality it just does not work..... heck even 10 people on a server is a hackerfest disaster.

levels and skills are a poorly designed afterthought...a full skill tree just sets your abilities to the level they were 'before' they even introduced a skill tree.

this is not na MMO......at all.

if you think it is....you haven't ever experienced one IMO.

It is an MMO whether you like it or not.


"A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet. Many games have at least one persistent world, however others just have large numbers of players competing at once in one form or another without any lasting effect to the world at all. These games can be played on any platform, be it the personal computer, a game console such as the internet capable PSP, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PS Vita or Wii, or mobile devices and smartphones based on such operating systems as Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
MMOGs can enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of gameplay types, representing many video game genres."

[razberrie]

war z is a server based PvP game with zombies added as an afterthought....oh ya, na afterthought such as " Hey we got this freeware game War Inc,...lets add zombies and call it an mmo, nobody will be the wiser"...rofl....

oh.....and War Inc is.....free to play.

[RoadDog]

^^

yeah its kinda sad that ppl dont get it.

[razberrie]

this is my favorite paragraph on their front page:



"Forget subscriptions, forget paid DLC and expansion packs.

The War Z is as simple as this - once you install the game to your computer, you will be able to get into the game quickly and play without worrying about subscription fees, no hidden fees, and no paid updates. All updates will be seamlessly delivered to you free of charge when they're released."




heh.... oh the irony.....

[razberrie]

this one is good too from their front page:



"no levels, or unrealistic stat modifications. " ... >.<

....

This was probably written by someone from a mobile scamware company, the kind that makes games where you watch counters tick down and pretend to attack another player every 15 minutes. If we're going to use that definition for MMO we might as well not have the term at all, because it includes any game with a ladder or leaderboard. Any online activity with a reputation system would qualify so long as someone somewhere considers it a game.

40 players to an arena is not an MMO under any circumstances. 100 players to an arena could be classified as massively multiplayer in 1998 because those numbers were at the limits of the medium, but EverQuest ended that. You know very well what MMO means, and it doesn't mean Tribes, Neverwinter Nights, or your favorite modded CoD4 server. Don't be pedantic.

Look if it has a large number of people and you gain experience and collect gear its a mmo you can whine about it all you want technically it is one

I thought you weren't supposed to play on servers with more than 10 people if you wanted to be able to play without being sniped on spawn (what all the fans say when someone complains of being killed by a "hacker"). That kind of defeats the Massive part of the definition.

Has anyone actually tried to get 100 players on a server? Do you think they could handle that load? I thought that WOW, EVE, Star-Wars, PlanetSide 2, and other MMOs games could handle 3000-6000 at peak hours. That seems to be common these days.
Thousands of players is massive, 20-100 (more like 5-25 per server).... not so much.

[Terminus]

Maybe the 'M' stands for "moderately," or "minutely."

Fail Game of 2012, Reason:

1. 85% off the players are hackers. (They don't ban people, because then they will lose money).
2. If you played too long, you will get banned so you need to buy a new account.
3. If you die, you need to wait a long time to spawn (more then a hour). Quick Spawn = Paid.
4. It's not a game, it's a addon for this FPS game called War INC.
5. Developers told us they developed the game and his engine for years (LIES).
6. They are just trying to become famous like Dean Hall became with DayZ Mod.

--
This is a FPS game, not a MMO.. This is a mod / addon for War INC, they only changed the layouts, logos, skins, scripts, and added some zombies. If you think this is a MMO because they can handle 100 players on a server, then your obv to stupid to walk on this planet. ArmA 2 can handle 200 players, still it is a Military War Simulator. Same for ArmA 3.

Everyone who was stupid enough to buy this game after being told it was terrible is just butt hurt that they didn't listen. It's a MMO. At one time there could be thousands and thousands of people playing on different servers. Just because the game isn't good doesn't mean you need to post stupid things like this just to get attention. This has already been posted in the past numerous times and people need to get over this game.
