I've never played an MMO so I don't know the difference. I know that WOW is an MMORPG so can we at least classify MAG as an MMOFPS? If it's not a MMO of any kind, why not?

No, no, no and again... NO!

Everything that is based on matches is not MMO, world inide it lives fo max 30 minutes then it dissapere forever.

To call something MMO it need to be stable world that exist coonstanly and need to have bigger number of compacity, a lot more then 256. This game is simply bigger Battlefield if not the same.

MMO-Massive Multiplayer Online... Everyone thinks mmo's have to have millions of people they don't M.A.G. is a MMOFPS because it is 256 player's in a single game now when you compare it to RPG's that is not alot however for FPS's this is a really large number you can argue however you want everyone has their own opinion.

It's not only about numbers... it's also about world system too. Check out Guild Wars, this game looks like MMO, but there was a lot of debate if it's truly MMO or cRPG like Diablo and we talking here about MAG that clearly got matchmakeing and matches like typical shooter got.

Whatever, imo if this is how community see, that MMO is only about number of players this will be fall of MMO ideology, ideology of virtual world
