I honestly dont know why people ever thought it would be a mmorpg. They said day one that all the games they were creating would be with a twitch focus. This was always going to be a game where they'll more than likely have controlled events at particular times to draw in views for streamers.
Lol, I'd completely forgotten about the whole Twitch stuff, despite being in the alpha.
But, I agree, it's not an MMORPG and I don't think it has ever been advertised as such. It is an MMO, just not an RPG.

Honest question, why isn’t it an RPG?

Well, unless things have gotten much worse since the alpha closed, it was an MMO. During the alpha, it could support over 500 players on the same map. That makes it an MMO.
That said, during the alpha, Amazon were telling us they were aiming for 250v250 battles and I think they achieved it. But, this latest announcement did seem to be different, simply saying they wanted 100 players in a battle, significantly less than alpha. So, maybe its no longer an MMO, but I think it still is.

I played through almost every phase of the alpha and it’s crazy how much misinformation is out there. Maybe some people saw a hunger/thirst system and quit.
This is definitely a sandbox mmorpg and I am very excited to see what’s changed since the servers went down.
What exactly made it more like say Darkfall online rather than Atlas/Rust/Fallout 76/Escape? There is a huge dispute in my discord why I disagree with it being an mmorpg, but the people that do consider it a mmorpg also play Rust/Escape from Tarkov nonstop.
Make sure you preorder in case your local store runs out of physical copies. Oh wait.. Make sure you preorder in case the game stinks.
A discount on a turd is still a waste of money. Preorders are the real ‘gambling in video games’ imo. Even if the game doesn't pay out, at least you get to watch the (exclusives) numbers spin in their slots.
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
So they have no problem with games being based on killing whatever moves, in hopes that it will drop better gear to help you to more efficiently kill whatever else is still moving. But colonizing a previously uninhabited island is beyond the pale? That reads like a bad satire, but then they go on to discuss game mechanics as though it's a serious article.
As someone who is terrible with computers is that too high or too low
A Core i7-2700K was the top of the line consumer CPU in 2011. A GeForce GTX 670 was a relatively high end video card in 2012, and a GTX 970 was so in 2014.
Today, a $100 quad core processor would be over the recommended specs. Getting a new video card equivalent to a GTX 970 today would cost around $200.

If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
