You're wrong. Dota is an mmo. Massively Multiplayer Online. Tons of people play Dota.

1. Atlantica
2. Combat Arms
3. None, really. Atlantica was too good. :]

But you arent in a massive world together, so its not an MMO.
Its room based.

before the MMO/MMORPG phrase became the buzzword, the technical phrase used to describe the genre was "persistent world" which would be your character and stuff is there even when you stop playing the game. which dota is not.

room based games can be MMO, but i wouldn't use the term to describe DOTA.

An MMO has to have a world that can handle hundreds of players at once. A room based game can be an RPG but it can never be an MMO. The word "massively" refers to the amount of players that can play together inside a single world. It has nothing to do with how many players the game has. For instance you can't call SIMS a massively single player game even though it has hordes of players.

you're free to define "MMO" however you want as people tend to do, but technically, any persistent world hosted by the game's publisher is classified as an MMO. that's how Richard Gariott, who coined the term, defined it.
