not an MMO

It's an MMO the same way Warframe is an MMO. There are hub areas where you will come across other players, but out in the field where combat is allowed, you're limited to only a certain amount of people in a party. Hub areas have a maximum player limit, and when the limit is reached that phase cannot accept new players and people will end up in another phase. (You can hop phases so long as phases aren't at capacity).

The game will support a party size of six players.

By default, when you leave a hub area and go out into the open world, you are put into an instance on your own. Your progress in that instance is yours alone, but can be shared if you group up with other players and they obtained the same quests from the mission giver NPCs or notice board.

Difficulty scales up as more players enter a party, as does exp gained and loot rarity.

POE2 will feature different elements than POE1, included a slower cadence to combat, a dedicated dodge-roll function, and a dedicated block function for classes that can block with a shield/weapon (or possibly spell).

The game also uses gravity to force longer traveling projectiles to the ground, to prevent people shooting ranged attacks across the map to cheese enemies.
