If your server cap is less than 3k per server it's most likely not an MMORPG. Anything below that is just a survival server based game like Ark, dayz etc. I remember the good ol days were an MMO really meant a living moving world. Now it's just a server based cash grab 80% of the time.

Old school MMO's are horribly dated.

Before you call me Kid, I'm over 40 and damn near 50. Chances are, I was gaming before you were born.

MMO's have evolved since the creation Of Meridian 95 and Ultima Online. MMO's today have grown into Open world survival games with RPG style Progression Mechanics. Filled with With lots of people and they play off of an off site Server Farm.
ARK
Rust
7 Days to Die
GTA
Star Citizen
Etc.

This is the definition of MMO.

The term you may be gnashing to death in your mouth is MMORPG. (that or some insult to my Intelligence .)

MMORPG's are changing as well.
They are starting to break new gorund in VR.
A good place for them IMHO. Hope they advance more in that Realm. I like Zenith, play it, but hope it grows more.

Monthly Fees are dieing off.
They Need nor best not to come back.

those arent mmos , something like planetside 2 is an mmo.

In the end, if Dune: Awakening is like Conan Exiles then it's not going to be an MMO because of the poor player capacity of the latter (40+ /server). Nevertheless, we still don't know if the marketing speach behind Dune: Awakening is flawed and misleading or if it truely is going to be an MMO.

From the official website : Rise from survival to dominance in a vast and seamless Arrakis shared by thousands of players. Dune: Awakening combines the grit and creativity of survival games with the social interactivity of a large, persistent multiplayer game to create a unique and ambitious Open World Survival MMO.

From a technical standpoint and looking at what Funcom have been capable of in the past (Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, Conan Exiles, The Secret World... ), I don't see how they would drastically evolve from a Survival like Conan Exiles (buggy and vastly exploited by cheaters, duping, undermesh etc. ) to an MMO equivalent with thousands of players.
Just imagine having hundreds of players on one server with flying engines, housing with in-depth mechanics, dynamic weather with stacking sand mechanics while also being a third-person shooter at the same time ? Funcom is already aknowledged as a very good artistic studio but also aknowledged as very bad at optimizing their games since Anarchy Online (2001) and it never really improved on this side since then.

Just don't get your hopes too high on this one, it's whether not gonna be an MMO and become similar to Conan Exiles or become an unoptimized mess too ambitious to be realistically made by them.

I can't tell if you are high or just stupid. MMO > Massively Multiplayer Online. Are you still with me? No? oh well your stupid. Yes? Oh ok just high. WAKE UP

No those are "MMORPGs". MMO in todays definition could be anything online with a high intake of players. I'd consider Rust, Conan, even Minecraft MMOs, but what you've mentioned are MMORPGs. Get it right and adapt to what games have become. Goofy

If people would start to call the sky green all of a sudden,that wont make me call it green myself.
Games like rust already had a name before: Online survival games.
And they still are online survival games to this day.

Developers started to slap the tag,,mmo''on it to attract more people and many fell for it.
A huge part consists of younger players who just dont know it any better because they grew up with this.
If we started to call EVERYTHING with a lot of players a MMO,it would be really difficult to find the,,real''mmo,s anymore because we share the same genre with those masses of survival games that we dont want to play.
MMO refers to the server structure and the way the playerbase gets to interact with each other.
,,RPG''has nothing to do with it,at all.
Planetside 2 is a MMO but still not a RPG.

That's why you branch it out. Planetside 2 is a MMOFPS, eventually everything will have it's own category. The whole MMO topic in general has different opinions, With half saying "As long as the game allows a certain amount of players to play together in one server, then it's a MMO" while the other half is bent on keeping it "MMOs are MMOs, they depend on server size altogether". So goes both ways, and who really cares. Only time will tell what will happen to the MMO genre, whether MMO will apply to many games and not just MMORPG as it did in the past. My personal opinion is that any game that allows you to be in a server with 80-100+ people will be classed a MMO
