PoE IS NOT A MMO! Deal with it!

PoE is not a MMO! In no way shape or form! A MMO is a game where u can play with thousands and thousands of ppl at once. PoE does not have this! Towns do not count they are considered lobby's and by that extent any game with a online lobby shud be considered a MMO, such as Warcraft 3, SC2, SMITE or CoD....

GET THIS IN YOUR THICK SKULLS PPL! Im sick of hearing every day for almost every Hr that this game is a MMO or it isn't a MMO in General. Groupe consist of 6 PPL MAX! MAX! that barly makes it a online game for Christ sakes!

You are absolutely correct. PoE is an online Action RPG.

The definition of MMO have actually grown very wide. Today we have games like MMO FPS. It doesn't mean we have thousands of people running around in a single map shooting everything that moves.

PoE may not be a traditional MMO, but it does incorporate certain feature like an economy involving thousands of people trading stuff.

MMO
1. (video games) A massively multiplayer online game. A computer game in which a large number of players can simultaneously interact in a persistent world.
2. (colloquial) A massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

By this definition, PoE is not an MMO. It is an Action RPG with the ability to play with up to 5 other people at the choice of the player. The world is not persitent as it is randomized and you can not simultaneously interact with players unless in a party, in a town, and via global/trade chats.

Like myself, a few people get testy when information is incorrect or based solely off of popular opinion. Which in this case, is most likely the later. Although why stress over it and get a few gray hairs? Tomato - Toemato. Potato - PoEtato.

Guild Wars 2 is an MMO, yet the largest grouping is five.

So obviously you're wrong.

Guildwars 2 is a persistent world with the ability to simultaneously interact with any player, despite being in a party, town or chats.

That fits the definition of an MMO. PoE does not fit this definition.

And who said PoE is MMO? It's obviously ARPG with co-op option.
