Simi MMOs provide some of the best gameplay available for that stuff.
Simulated
Internet
Multiplayer
Imitation
MMO.
7 Days to Die is one of the best for this since it has decent PvE along with optional PvP. Rust feels more PvP focused, but also gets the job done

They aren't simulating the internet, they are multiplayer lobby games running small servers. That's not a simulation nor an imitation, that's just literal multiplayer.
And the fact they weren't made as MMOs kinda renders calling them MMOs at all irrelevant.
Just leaves me asking the same question really.

You're terribad at this. Do yourself and us a favour and stop.
Might want to take that direction in the future and drop the extra I at the end, might be a much easier sale.
When I was a child, my friends and I "made up words" just like this. It was a way to "confuse our parents." LOL

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR

By holding up two titles which are almost universally recognized as Multiplayer Online Survival Games as examples put the entire suggestion right into the crapper.
It's like trying to call Fornite or other Battle Royales "Multiplayer Online End of the World Simulators."
While languages clearly evolve, there's no need to confuse what a dog is vs a cat, just leave it all the heck alone.

and I thinking... What the actual fuck.
But yah.. point made.
BTW Speaking to Kyleran here.
Most people here may not consider those games to be MMOs, but I dare you to Google those games with MMO next to it. You will see a lot of stuff come up, including post and threads here on this site as well. I never said they were full fledged MMOs. I said they were Simi MMOs.
7 days to Die has a great progression system along side great cooperative multi-player. I played it originally on the PS4 before getting the PC version which is way more massive than its console counterpart. But in that console version, I could have my own server and have random people join and run Into just like in a real MMO( which it isnt)isn't.
Same with Rust, which sometimes feel just as toxic as most real FFA FL MMOs.
Fallout 76 is another Simi MMO with character progression, a large game world and lots of random players to bump into from time to time when playing around. Feels very much so like a MMO, even if most don't consider it a MMO. Still gets the niche done in a well manner, even if lots of people also dislike that game. So I don't see the problem.
I never said they were Full Fledged MMOs. They are Simulation and Imitation. Nothing wrong with that, and they should have a place to be discussed here as well because sometimes those small niches can be fulfilled nicely by games like this that aren't full MMOs but similar enough to not feel to out of place from MMOs.
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
Having multiplayer just makes a game a multiplayer game. Not a simulation nor an imitation.
You know what comes up when you google "7 days to die MMO"? The first result was a steam page reaffirming that it's not an MMO. The one link to this forum I found was a discussion that only speculated the server capacity.
So what is one doing? Filtering out all the contradictory results? And to what end?
Why the need to obfuscate an otherwise simple subject?
It was actually intended to be a survival game but they minimized those features so much it isn't even fair to keep it in the same category as Rust or 7 Days.
Now if you had proposed to call them pseudo MMOs again I could have seen a bit of logic, but the word "Imitation" is generally reserved for spices like vanilla or almond extract, not video games.
The simulation part makes no sense, the word is often used in games like Kerbal Space, Microsoft Flight and many combat simulators, but not the two titles you mentioned.

I think it a good descriptor for a game that tries to simulate what exists or did exist, or a close mimicry of such. Gloria Victis could well fit being called a SimMMO with their very down to earn medieval inspired world.
