    Meh you want to avoid the question go for it.

    It doesn't make you more mysterious it just makes you look like someone who can't make up their own mind.

    I also find it odd that you have such an obsession with the whole MMO label but won't throw your hat in the ring.

    Personally I don't see how anyone could call hearthstone a MMO with a straight face, or any logic behind it.
    Yes, I am avoiding the question, and going for it. Is there some way you think you can pry it out of me?

    Sure, you can say it looks like i can't make up my mind. Why would i need to make up my mind with a label that has been broadened so much? May be I am just looking which way the wind is blowing? It is about common use of language, right?

    Why is it odd? Who says I have an obsession of what the label means? May be I just like to talk about how other use it? Can i obsess about that instead?

    About calling Hearthstone a MMO with a straight face ... you have to ask superdata. I am not the one doing it. If I am calling a MMO, rest assure that my face with be curved, instead of straight .. he he he he ...

    That was my attempt to pry it out. Carry on by all means, looking forward to your next painfully biased and obvious title about something that clearly is not a MMO being called one with a link and a quote and no personal opinion.

    You could try shaking it up a bit, I think I might do a thread on what MUDs were cabable of mechanic, AI and scripting wise and how it hasn't changed much at all in over 30 years.

    In today's society labeling people or things is hate speech...watch yourself.  You are what you self identify as.

    I guess in a world where everyone stares at their phones all day, a few people interacting is the new "massive."

    EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

    Yeh .. otherwise why would this site classify games with 10-12 man instance fights as MMOs?

    That is the future of MMO ... minimally multiplayer online.

    Isn't ignorance common enough that we shouldn't help spread bad ideas?  The world would be a better place if objectively false ideas were squashed before they were created (or at least before they spread), and good ideas were encouraged instead.

    Because, as some individuals have shown, the idea of what's true and false is rather subjective to the opinions they share and anything that defies their world view is O'objectively false". It makes the ordeal rather hard to achieve.

    good and bad are subjective.

    It is a great idea for websites to broaden the definition of MMOs, to increase traffic. Otherwise, why do you think they are doing it?

    Why continue being wrong in the same exact ways that've been disproven in previous threads?
    • "Red" means a specific thing.
    • Calling everything red will erode the meaning of the word.  The word will be objectively less useful.
    • If you sell only blue clothing, you're not going to "increase traffic" in any meaningful way by marketing that clothing on "redclothing.com".  If people want red clothing, you should sell red clothing!  So you argument is illogical even if red clothing was popular.
    • It becomes all the more illogical when you realize MMORPGs have basically plateaued in popularity and there'd be a very limited upside to trying to attract that audience anyway (assuming you can get people to stick around who are actually looking for MMORPGs, which is unlikely.)

    Overwatch is NOT an mmorpg. It's a F/TPS MOBA.

    well .. adding information from the other thread ....

    The 10 most anticipated MMORPG list : 

    http://www.killerguides.net/blog/mmorpg/new-mmos-2016

    The most highly anticipated MMOs of 2016: 

    http://news.mmosite.com/content/2016-01-27/hello_mmo_the_most_highly_anticipated_mmos_of_2016_3.shtml

    So I am confused .. is Overwatch a MMO, or a MMORPG? Or both? It looks like MMO sites love to put Overwatch on their list.

    The more interesting question is this ... do you care if it is called a MMO (or MMORPG), or will you play it if it is fun for you?

    Does some game I'm never going to play getting included on a list of MMORPGs in any way take away form the enjoyment of the games I am playing? 
    yup. just not directly, and not immediately.
    You are absolutely correct but allot of people on this site have no idea what your talking about.
