Honestly, who cares if its a MMORPG or a MMOSG, as long as it's fun I'll play it. That's all that counts imo, and that's all that should count for everybody.
exactly i'm heavily into playing games like EQ2 and WoW but when this game comes out I'm quiting those and going to only play this one because in my opinion its a lot more fun and less grinding and things like that.
Originally posted by saitoe for the people who think this isnt an MMORPG lets narrow down the words M-massive M- multi player O- online this means alot of people can play at once to help one another and interact with an enviorment with friends R-role P-playing G-game this meens you can play a role as a character... in this game its necromancer and magician and other stuff... you play as your character and follow your story line...
does that sound like an MMORPG to you? it does for meme- Mom... can you get me a game?mom- you can have this instead you dirty basterd!*mom takes cigar and puts out the light on my forearm* --------------------------------------------- Credit card declined eh? well let me just give you one of my many YAH!!! *throws hand full of credit cards in waiters face*

it is a MMORPG, beacuse, it is only online, you have turn based figting, pvp, quests, towns, IT IS! and it is Massive, Multiplayer, Online, Role, PLaying, Game... it fits all those things, besides why would it be on mmorpg.com if it wasnt a mmorpg..
Who said you had to reply at the topic if you're sick and tired of debating talk to yourself about your craclpot theory if this is a mmorpg or not because quite frankly im sick and tired of you whining about it grow up and post something more creative. If the company says its a mmorpg shut up and roll with it.
Besides everyone is sick and tired of entertaining you anyway

Q.)Is Guild Wars an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)?
A.)Guild Wars has some similarities to existing MMORPGs, but it also has some key differences.
" Like existing MMOs, Guild Wars is played entirely online in a secure hosted environment. Thousands of players inhabit the same virtual world. Players can meet new friends in gathering places like towns and outposts where they form parties and go questing with them. Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place. This design eliminates some of the frustrating gameplay elements commonly associated with MMOs, such as spawn camping, kill stealing, and lines to complete a quest.
Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. But Guild Wars eliminates much of the tedium of traveling through the world. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they've previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map.
Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-on-guild warfare or the international tournament. But engaging in combat is always the player's choice; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world.
Finally, unlike existing MMOs, all characters in Guild Wars inhabit the same virtual world -- they are not divided onto different servers or shards -- so players can always team up with or compete against any other player in the world." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i would definietly have to agree that it is. they have said it is not a traditional one, and it isn't. it is fun as hell and i would defenietly preorder whether, had i the money. it is bigger than the demos, i hope people realize that. and yes it is kind of like diablo, but what can u expect from former blizzard employees?
I cant believe this topic is actualy still alive seeing that it was started months ago.
Anyway, does it really matter if its MMORPG or not?? If you like it, play it. <-- I know I sound like a copycat. By it just seems that people dont get the whole purpose of gaming.
Looking from a slightly bigger picture but not the whole picture, it seems to me that this is a new breed of fanboi perhaps?? I heard of fanbois "defending" games like WoW or EQ2 or GW, many many more. Maybe this breed is about "defending" game genre??
im not gonna sit here and say what it is and what it isnt, all im gonna agree on is its a VERY fun game. i played the WPE and the first 2 betas and i am very impressed with how its coming along.

Its a MORPG. That is close enough. Hey, The Sims Online and planetside are here. They certainly don't follow the mmorpg genre.

MMORPG = Multi - Massive - online - role-playing - game ... correct?
well GW is a MMORPG 1. its multi 2. its massive 3. its online 4. it seems to be roleplaying and 5. its certainly a game...
so why isn't it a mmorpg if it qualifies for all categories ??? beats me why ppl think its not one
its a great game. lets keep it fun and not make it sound like its not...

Actually Jeff, Patrick and Mike are more behind titles like Warcraft 2, Starcraft, and part of WoW.
These guys are originator of mass blizz hysteria.
They can even bring down Thunders upon earth from their fingertips if they wanted to. So be careful.
Don't be nonchalant.
Oh, btw everytime I come to this GW board, and see the title of this post, it makes me laugh like hell....
