Um....we'll give you $100,000 if you advertize our game for 6 months.
Duuu..hu......done.
I'd make the same call in a heartbeat.
I'm surprised they've only just noticed that this site has been covering none MMO's, i doubt its because their being paid to advertise them however, and its more a case of, their interested in a particular game and people are probably discussing it anyway in one of the general forums. Don't have a problem with that at all tbh, and discussing games is something quite a few people here get a certain degree of enjoyment fromt, and the Witcher series are probably going to be regarded as classic games of their time
MMORPG switched, officially, to MMO+RPG for quite some time ago.
In other words they cover BOTH MMO's and RPG's in general.
Does that answer your question?
I personally enjoy the added coverage of RPG's. My guess is, like me, a lot of MMO players also play RPG's. In fact I have discovered a few rpg titles after reading discussions or news pieces on this site.
Ive seen this question posed a few times and I can't understand why anyone would react negatively to this site expanding their focus?
When I come across a link or story that doesn't interest me my brain executes all the necessary commands to ignore the offending content.
On that note I am looking forward to Witcher 3 and am interested in any news and/or "positive" discussions.

There is no mmo on the market today I'm playing. This has happened in the past for me and I started playing an rpg. This site has realized that many players are doing what I've done.
THE WITCHER series has won hundreds of gaming awards. THE WITCHER 3 (which I expect to be a success that could rival SYYRIM) is launching May 19th and promises to set a new standard for the genre.
I welcome the news coverage. If it wasn't provided here....I would be visiting other sites to get it.
hardly.
They do still cover mmo's so the name takes nothing away from that.
adding single player rpg's and the like is icing on the cake.
Additionally, this is their brand name and when people put into a search mmorpg their site will come up.
Some people are just "stomping their feet" because the world isn't black and white.
Additionally, Massively (overpowered) has a secton for non mmo's and I bet dollars to donuts that if there are other mmo sites they also include this content.
And with the new site design they said you would be able to filter out the news of games/content you are not interested in.

Yes, but if I like MMOs I don't like any other type of game. I don't play them, just can't stand them.HEY!! nonmmorpg.com is available! Maybe they should just buy it and then run it as a sister site!!! Problem solved!

Those of us who have been here a while have seen the expansion of coverage, and hey growth is growth. But I can also understand it from newcomers to the genre and young people looking for information about MMORPGs.
Let's say you're a 14 year old kid and you've heard the term, maybe heard about WoW and wanted to find out what other MMOs there are so you hit up google. This site immediately comes up and you click (cause who actually goes to page 2 of internet searches amirite?). Right up front and center is The Witcher 3! Do you stay, do you go, do you click on it to find out how it's an MMO? Any newcomer essentially lacks the taxonomical knowledge of MMO history to place something into one bin or another.
So what? Meh, you're right, it's not really a big deal. But we will forever get threads like these because it is confusing to people who haven't been around.
I don't think MMORPG should stop covering everything, that's silly. Nor do I think they should change their name (dropping a brand identity as large as MMORPG would be a terrible idea). What they should do is redesign this awful site. It's a visual cacophony of text links, competing advertising space, and poor navigation options.

MMORPG.com covers MMORPGs (obviously)
They cover MMOs, nobody seems to mind that even though it is missing the RPG elements.
They cover RPGs even though they lack the MMO.
They have started to cover more. Users who like MMORPGs are likely to enjoy MMOs and RPGs.

Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/And besides the point, what really is going on in the "mmo space'? Enough to keep a website alive?
How many times do we have to discuss:
payment methods
solo vs group play
pvp vs pve
And then the same litany of complaints about the same handful of games because that's really of interest.
At least the single player rpg's invite discussion about games as opposed to the same nonsense we've been rehashing for years.
And other "mmo sites" also discuss other types of games.
I really can't wait until they get their new site and people can filter out what they want/dont' want.

The only thing that bothers me is when I see something labeled as MMO when it's clearly not. As long as each game is labeled or described properly, it's all good.
As others have said: it is all about the money.
This site will cover anything so long as someone pays them to do it.
