""Guild Wars is not an MMORPG," said Jeff Strain, producer of the game.
Quake, CS, NWN are called MOGS or Multiplayer Online Game. They lack the "massively multiplayer" aspects that MMORPGs offer. While you can have up to 30+ players on some games they can never truely support over 1000s or even hundreds of players at the same time.
In DDO every dungeon is instanced and limited to just your group, at least when I played the trial anyway it was. When you are done you go back to town or to the pub to get some more members for your group and do it again. But you don't really interact with anyone outside your group once you get into the dungeon (kill mobs).
So, how is DDO any different than Guild Wars?
Not really saying how they should be classified, but just saying that if Guild Wars isn't really an MMORPG, than neither is DDO.
I have seen so many threads like this before. honestly, who even cares, A game is a game, play it if you like it, if you dont then dont.
-neither is CoX, all the non-instanced areas are just fill, all the important stuff in instanced.
-endgame WoW. In a BG or a dungeon/raid instance.
-DDO, dont need to explain.
Either way I reckon let Guildwars have it, they made good products and they did it without using pay to play billing. They have certainly provided more content than most MMOs have in their first 2 years with pay to play methods.

/agree. That is ridiculous to say the use of Instancing prevents GW from being considered a mmorpg. And good point about DDO... DDO has a max of 8 players only in combat instances, while GW has up to 24 players per combat instance, which is three times as many... Yet they want to consider DDO a mmorpg and not GW?
I just find it funny that mmorpg.com gives Nightfall less than a 8/10 review and then awards GW MMOG of the year? What the hell?
Play as your fav retro characters: cnd-online.net. My site: www.lysle.net. Blog: creatingaworld.blogspot.com.
in City of Heroes its all instanced max size group is 8 ppl yet no one complains about that. every mission is instanced in CoH/CoV too
not sure if its still like this but EQ2 was instanced to the max just like GW when it first came out. even the town was instanced too if memory recalls
Not saying GW is an MMO but it is persistant not sure why ev1 keeps crying about it. maybe if half of the 'real' MMOs were any good just maybe you'd see them when the award. til then get used to seeing GW uptop biatches!
GW FTW!
Why does everyone seem to think instancing is evil. It make the game better.
Better imersion -> YOU make the difference, not the hundred other people around you.
Better performance.
No kill stealing.
