Modded Minecraft servers are better than most MMO's these days. Full loot, PvP, Build your own house

Been playing minecraft for my MMO fix and I am surprised to see all the things I missed in old mmos in minecraft. This one server I play on is 300+ people on and it is awesome. You gain levels by mining, which also gives you rare drops and tokens. Plus building materials for your house, to craft armor and to sell for money. Your exp can be spent on enchanting your player crafted armor/weapons. When you die you lose everything you carry and all your exp. Not a problem tho because you can mine to get more exp. It only takes about 45 min to hit a decent level again. I don't think there is a level cap but their might be. Exp because hard around level 60.
There are no quests or goals in the game. You decide what you want to focus on. You can just mine and make a badass house made out of all the best items in the game. Or you can focus on PvP
Oh and your armor weapons will break and be lost. Also, there are no guides on crafting you just have to figure out what makes what.

they said the same thing about dayz. And see what happened to warz.
I hope minecraft developer learned the lesson and continue creating the best mod. Do not try to make an mmorpg.
Making an mmorpg isn't easy. Even the big names like ESO and Diablo can't even make a simple trade system without having item dupe exploit.
Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.
Diablo..isn't..an...mmorpg..
Watched southpark last night?
No you can't cut anything without an axe.
But massive amount of players playing roleplaying game
Edit: Online
with only 8 people in a single instance of the game at any time. That's ridiculous to claim its an mmorpg. Theres no persistence either
I don't understand this new trend to call Diablo and MOBAs MMO's.
I don't think that's the point. The point is a billion dollar company can't make a simple trade system works, without exploit.
Massive, Multi Player, Online.....yes MMO
Semantics. Who cares about the meaning of words anyhows?
the first M in MMORPG is for Massively, not Massive
Neither do I. A game may have many, many players, but if they're all separated into tiny little lobby-sized chunks for one-off sessions in non-persistent worlds it is most definitely not an mmorpg.
Rational people who possess common sense, business acumen and an interest in the laws that govern them.
You dont need billions to be a good programmer. If a company wants to rush a game out without testing correctly then that is their own fault.
I also dont like the trend of calling all multi player games mmos these days..
so..... Call of duty is an mmo?
no, because you cant see all the people playing in the same world.
If its not persistent then its not massively multiplayer, just multi player.
Sure, semantics. Each genre has its name, use it correctly or just call them games.
What laws, exactly, cover what the term "MMO" means?
Hyperbole much?

Semantic Change
10 Words That Don't Mean What You Think They Do
There are very few absolutes in life. The "what words mean" falls into the category of things that are not absolute and unchangable.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
It's convenience. "MMO" is shorter than "MMORPG". But since it's different, it's also being applied to more things.
I don't think it applies to Minecraft though.
**
Even though I've played on a server or two that gave me more of an "MMORPG" and "Virtual World" experience than most MMORPGs I've played, I still wouldn't call Minecraft an MMO or an MMORPG.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
I meant to reply only to the line about Semantics and the fact the poster wondered who cared about the meaning of words. I forgot to edit out the first line.
Obtuse much, or were you just being disingenuous?
You were trying to tie people who need to care about the meaning of the words they are using for business and legal reasons to terms like "MMO", which has never had an official definition and doesn't need to have a specific meaning for business or legal reasons. Hyperbole. You.

Even those people would not go on and on about what words used to mean. They would get on with what the words mean right now.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
You get use to the graphics and the way they are worse is less annoying than playing EQ graphics.
lol diablo isn't an MMO. If you are going to apply subjective the definition of MMO then you pretty much have to say COD is an MMO.
Go play Space Engineers on steam, you won't be able to sleep.
try Wurm Online pvp servers.
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

great game!
I really want it as a MMO though, I feel disconnected to a greater whole even though I play MMOs solo mostly.
