i am getting pissed off with the people who consider, Warrock, Gunz, and Rakion an MMO, FFS it is not an MMO. The definition of an MMO is massively multiplayer online, this meaning that large number of players can connect and play on ONE server at once! Warrock, Gunz and Rakion support 8-32 players on one server. An Example of an MMO is Planetside which accepts 400 players on the same server, so now you dumbasses know what an MMO is >:(

iGunz has like 6 servers. I think each can support 2000 people. And I think 3 of them are full.... So... that leaves iGunz out. The other region GunZ like kGunz and jGunz are packed even more. Last time I attemped to play Warrock. I think I saw like around 500 people playing on a server. And last time I played Rakion, I think more than 500 were playing on that server too. This thread is null and should be locked. >>

and congratulations to you, the first dumass posting here, yes gunz has servers that can support that many people but its still not MMO, its just a shooter, MMO means that for example on gunz, you would have ONE game of deathmatch with 400 people in it at one time, so there you have it, you are wrong

in a regular game of planetside bout 200 people play in one single match on a regular basis, when its rush hour it can get pretty chaotic

planetside is only the true mmofps

then again the arguement can go both ways

I got a better idea, shut up and quit complaining the term can't be defined in a right way, so you calling people stupid only supports your ignorance.

Sir, you need to learn MMO-player vocabulary. MMO is massive multiplayer online. Gunz has massive people playing it, it's multiplayer, and it's online. And it's a third person shooter. Therefore, it's a MMOTPS. I'm not going to flame you because I only have one warning left, until someone reconizes my heroic battle with the fearsome thread troll known as Capo. Ah well.

try ares fps

FPS you mean, and i agree someone should make a sticky on the definitions of MMO,FPS,RTS,etc.

FFS=for fucks sake :\

Gunz has massive people playing it
lmao, thats a nice way of wording it massive people meaning a bunch of fatasses playing gunz, i would have to agree there XD

Gunz has massive people playing it
lmao, thats a nice way of wording it massive people meaning a bunch of fatasses playing gunz, i would have to agree there XD

Learn the definition of MMO please.

Massive Multiplayer Online ( As knows as MMO ) designs games which a massive amount of players are playing in ONE CONSTANT world.


For **** sake, what is FFS???

Gunz is a MOTPS - Multiplayer Online Thrid Person Shooter!

ok where in the title "massivily multiplayer online" does it say that have to be in the same place? it means alot of people play it online. in lamest terms :)

ok where in the title "massivily multiplayer online" does it say that have to be in the same place? it means alot of people play it online. in lamest terms :)

if that is true then mmorpgs would suck because MMO is in One constant world, gunz is in lobby servers and such.

If MMO meant that it didn't have to be played in the same place, then how would MMORPG's survive today?

the topic creator is ignorant

ive been involved in massive multiplayer games for many years

and it doesn't matter if its one server..or 6

if it has more then 500/1000 people playing it is considered a MMO

no if's or but's

for all the people yelling at me stfu, cause ur saying ONE PERSISTENT WORLD and i am saying the exact same thing, GUNZ IS NOT AN MMO, it is a Third Person Shooter, There is not a PERSISTENT WORLD. Learn Your terms people, then post on onrpg.

lol @ this whole thread.

while I agree with the fact that Gunz (and other games mentioned) should not be called "MMO" due to sames reasons that GW is not a MMO, I still think the Original Poster could have expressed his opinion in a much better way than he did...

in the old forum there were several threads made that talked about this, most of the time the conlcusion is that there are only a handful MMOFPS right now: Planetside, WWII Online (Huxley is in development). IMHO, a MMO is defined by not how many people playing on one server, but how many people you are playing "with". If Im playing Gunz, Im only playing with around 16 people at a time, I have to join a different room to play with other people. This is the same as other FPS like CS. The only difference is, instead of dedicated servers from CS, we get free hosting from the makers of Gunz. But this alone does not make it Massively Multiplayer.

ofcourse, each term we use is subject to change. But right now a MMOFPS is usually used to describe a game that combines the "massive" element with the FPS one. I precieve the "massive" part as playing with hundreds of people simultaneously, not in sepereate rooms like counter strike. So I dont count games like Gunz as a MMOFPS.

for all the people yelling at me stfu, cause ur saying ONE PERSISTENT WORLD and i am saying the exact same thing, GUNZ IS NOT AN MMO, it is a Third Person Shooter, There is not a PERSISTENT WORLD. Learn Your terms people, then post on onrpg.

oh real funny ya f*ckin pussy, go outside and play life every once in a while and quit watching ur anime porn
and i repeat age requirement for forum is 13. you started this man and hell where gunna end it. asshole:p

Let's analyse the thread's maker.

i am getting pissed off with the people who consider, Warrock, Gunz, and Rakion an MMO, FFS it is not an MMO. The definition of an MMO is massively multiplayer online, this meaning that large number of players can connect and play on ONE server at once! Warrock, Gunz and Rakion support 8-32 players on one server. An Example of an MMO is Planetside which accepts 400 players on the same server, so now you dumbasses know what an MMO is

Large number of player playing in ONE server means nothing since some FPS game can contain up to 5k ppl in ONE server.

The real definition would be a massive number of player playing in ONE constant world. Thus called MMO.

and congratulations to you, the first dumass posting here, yes gunz has servers that can support that many people but its still not MMO, its just a shooter, MMO means that for example on gunz, you would have ONE game of deathmatch with 400 people in it at one time, so there you have it, you are wrong

Your second post does not sound any better than the 1st. Since you're not convincing GUnz is not a MMO...massive number of player playing in one server is what Gunz is. Maybe you have to think a bit more before posting.

Gunz has massive people playing it
lmao, thats a nice way of wording it massive people meaning a bunch of fatasses playing gunz, i would have to agree there

I do not comprehend this post.... Massive poeple = massive numbers of player. What's wrong in it? Gunz have massive number of players you know. Over 10k. Contradicting your previous posts???

for all the people yelling at me stfu, cause ur saying ONE PERSISTENT WORLD and i am saying the exact same thing, GUNZ IS NOT AN MMO, it is a Third Person Shooter, There is not a PERSISTENT WORLD. Learn Your terms people, then post on onrpg.

Learn yours 1st.

1st tell me what is FFS? You posted that on your 1st post.


( BTW, i researche the term FFS and geuss what I obtained? Facial feminization surgery. lol )


2nd, learn your own definition first. Server does not equal to World. Persistant World does not equal to a Server. Your 1st post is 100% wrong on the definition of MMO.

oh real funny ya f*ckin pussy, go outside and play life every once in a while and quit watching ur anime porn

Oh well, due you aboarded the term of "F*cking pussy, it shows how much lonely horny emo you are. Also, your mind seemed to be filled with unrealistic graphical pornographic due you were mentionning " Anime porn". Also by the same time, when you say " Anime porn" it shows that you're level of knowledge about animes and porns is totally 0. Anime Porn is called Hentai. Learn your definitions and words before coming back to Onrpg. When you come back to Onrpg, which i expect 10 years later considering you're 7 years old, you should know what the hell is respect.

if it has more then 500/1000 people playing it is considered a MMO

no if's or but's

MMO's definition has always been a Massive number of players playing in one constant world. Thus the games such as Counter-strike, Gunz, Warrock, Half Life is not MMO even if they had 1000000/999999999 players at the same time since you have to make one lobby ( game ) for several pplayers to join in one game. Also even if you create a game and 400 ppl can join, it is not MMO. In order to be MMO, you need MOST of the players within THAT game to be in ONE or 2-3 server. ( 2-3 server or as known as channels is to maintain a decent latency for players). Therefore, your previous post about 500/1000 people is considered as MMO is wrong.

For more information, go to Wikkipedia.

I agree with skatezero867 although he is 13.. lol what a guy man how smart do you think you are you flamed like 5 persons in this thread.. man if you wanna be heard out then i suggest you act normal and 'wise'. what you did was exactly the opposite... i really highly recommend you stop posting before you lose youre reputation... lol i think its already to late for that but then again just stop man

OMFG DEZE PPLZ ON DA INTERNTZ R TEH STUPIX! ARGH DAT MAKE ME SO MAD.
I realise your point, but MMO is thrown around now like ghetto people use "dawg." They aren't really referring to each other as dogs. It's definatly not worth pissing out a topic about, especally when you also have no idea what the **** you're talking about.

You need to learn what a server is. In gunz, warrock, AND rakion, you ARE NOT CREATING A SERVER when you make a game. You're simply creating a room. Everybody connects to you seperatly, they don't connect to one computer then have that computer send the info back to everybody.
Games like Counter Strike ARE run by many many servers. Gunz/warrock/rakion are NOT. thoes are ROOMS.

How can you tell you the difference?
Well that's simple. notice how games like CS have mods. Notice how gunz n' such does not. Notice how things in gunz/warrock/rakion still run off of the server. Things like...EXP. If the games were run by user hosted server people could just edit their server so it has enhanced exp and other things.

I dunno if I explained it all really, but hopefully now you realise, you're just a dumb 13 year old with a box of oreos in his picture. Now go "skatezero" your way home and read a dictionary to gain some intellect.

i love my anime p0rn **** u all

gunz is not a mmofps its lobby base like warrock, gunbound, and gunster

MMOFPS - Massive Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter

i dont see any of the words "in one big server" or "with 400 people or more at once" in there, funny thing....

since massive is not defined officially id have to say that it doesnt mean 400 or more people at once but then again you cant say that gunz or CS, etc. are mmofps ether seeing as massive isnt defined, therefor there are no 'massive' multiplayer online first person shooters, there are only multiplayer online first person shooters/role playing games.

though you can say they are multiplayer, more than one person at once, online, over the internet, and then fps/rpg depending on the genre its defined as. But massive means alot and alot, not being a defined number, is being determined by opinion and therefor if it is your opinion massive means 400 people playing a game of deathmatch at once then sure go ahead and say gunz isnt mmofps, just know its your opinion and you cant force your opinions onto other players.

Massive = 1000+ players in a SEEMINGLY in one persistant world.

Many mmos actually run on many different servers, it just seems like they are one server because your being channeled through a primary server.

WarRock is a stat track fps (like Battlefield series), not a real mmo.
The game itself has to support 1000+ players, not the lobby.

-----------------
In a better explenation, to truely be an mmo, the player must beable to pass inbetween areas of worlds withou the sense of loseing a sense of connection to the actual game world. With lobby fps games, the user losses a sense of connection to the world as he goes to a lobby to choose another area to play.

A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, and is played on the Internet. Typically, this type of game is played in a giant persistent world.

Somebody has changed this article the last time I checked (probably some marketing director from WarRock)

persistant means there is no interuption when changing from one player zone to the next. Lobbies interupt the flow of the game.

I know all of this because I have spent many years studying philosophies of game design. And for those who may not understand what that means, I'm a game dev major. (the many years referes to my research befor my college years.)

-----------------------EDIT--------------
In truth, an mmo is supposed to stand for a game in which you can reinvint yourself to play that game. Planetside lets you take on a role as a soldier in an intergalactic war, Lineage 2 (different genre) lets you play amung the world of fantasy.

The purpose of lobbies is to provide a simple ease for the person on the go, not a diehard mmo fan. (Guild Wars (other genre) can be ecluded from the lobby list of games because it's lobbies are actual in game towns, not a text filled screen)
-----------Already too much said------------

still, thats wikipedia....depending on who posted that i still wouldnt use that as a resource. Unless all the gaming companys put that its a giant PW, and there was proof they put it there i would still take it as an opinion by the person who created that part of the article. Still wikipedia arguably being a very very reliable resource if not THE most reliable resource, you can say its most likely the meaning of massive in "mmofps/rpg". But seeing as its not clearly defined by gaming companys people are still able to say gunz,cs,etc. are mmofps's.

Lol pro photoshops skills. Can you do that with other pictures? Like maby...
*cough*goatse*cough*
....What are you talking about? That's a real picture.

dont use wikipedia as a soucre its not reliable

I tried Dictionary.com and only came up with the acronym definition.

And wikipedia, although not the best source, is still a reference to what many have said. Wikipedia requires the agreeance of several people who view the article in order for it to be changed.

What I always say, when the online encyclopedias are in doubt, go with the next best thing, Wikipedia, the collaborative efforts of a group conciousness.
-------------
But when the first persiastant online game came out (I believe it was Ultima Online), they coined mmo to refer to the fact that their game could hold several thousands of players.

You only determine the true meaning of words by those who first created them.

dont use wikipedia as a soucre its not reliable

Indeed but 90% of the gaming compagnies are relying of wikkipedia when they have to define what genre is their specific game.

Example, you dont see Valve say CS IS MMOFPS!! no cuz it's a MOFPS

Ouch, pwned:D

I think admins need to make a rule about talking about this subject, because evertime it pops up, somebody gets his face riped off and corpse raped.

lmao..
the threadstarter is sooo right thx for that post i love you :3

when u search "mmofps" on google you only get these forumposts of ppl talking about rakion, gunz and shit...

the funny thing about this thread is that all ppl talk about MMO not about MMOFPS(planetside, WW2) or MMOTPS(id say neocron)..

"you play MMOs?.. dude i play a MMOFPS with RPG elements.."
PWNT :3

well mmo mean alot of players play at same server we all agree. playing on one server in different rooms may be possible in a "MMO" but u wont get hte typical MMO experience.. u have the same situation as a CS player.. so whats the sense of calling rakion an MMO? lets just mix all genres so no one will ever figure out what the differences are... smart..

so u play rakion..so ur a true elite MMO player.. but u dont feel like playing a MMO... hm that sucks right? so why call it a MMO?? this makes no sense at all...

and last but not least..
why isnt diablo2 a MMORPG but WoW is one?

yea blizzard just dont get it right?

hahahahahah sure... sure...

alleluah leech, :)

well mmo mean alot of players play at same server we all agree

Wrong, Haven't you read the tread yet? You cannot define MMO as ONE SERVER because ONE SERVER COULD BE DEFINED FOR ALL MASSIVE ONLINE GAMES.

The definition is Massive Amount of Players co-existing in one CONSTANT or PERSISTANT world.

All other online games can only be define as MO( insert genre). MO stands for Multiplayer Online.

Let's slowly decode this definition by steps.

A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, and is played on the Internet.


A computer game being able to hold X number of players at the same time no matter if it's one after another or whatever case.

Typically, this type of game is played in a giant persistent world.


Now this part is a debatable part. Typically means there's exception right? Something like Generally, usually however many of you will say " Well, CS is an exception!" Then you're wrong. Very wrong. Typically is supporting the fact that a game contain several Channels ( TO be precise, server) in order to maintain a decent latency so the players won't go OMGGGGG LAGGGGGG meanwhile the game. Yet again, you migth go " Same for CS!! NOob" Then you're wrong...again. They put several server because.

1- Giving multiple chance for event, personnal or some Guild activity such as " The best Guild is ( Insert Name) on this server. Then they could hold a inter-server competition.
2- Maintain decent latency on the server for both teh server AND the player. You probably will hate to see 20000000000shops at the noob town and lag the hel outa a pentium 3 user.
3- A little bit alike the 1st one. To "artificially" enlarge their game in dimensions.
4- To class different players easily, to locate hacker more easily since of the smaller groups compared to ONE BIG server. Easier to manage.
5- To have their own economic system ( like when...er.. +10 Holy blessed Spoon cost 10k here and 20k in another server. Players holds the power of the game's economic. Exmaple of FFXI. )


They used the word WORLD because, a server is no characterise as a world also, if they replcae the WORLD by the word SERVER. We can assume all online game to be MMO. That is why they employed the WORLD as definition.


SO now, anyone who comes out and say MMO IS A LOTS OF PLAYER CO-EXISTING ON ONE SERVER OF A GAME. Then you've proven yourself ignorant of the Online Gaming World.

Not to act like Adminstrator or anything but you guys really need to stop complaing. ESPECIALLY Skaterzero who made this stupid topic in the first place. From the second I read this I thought it was spam, yet all of you continued to post and turned it into a debate/flame war.

Truely, MMOs are games, games are games. GAMES ARE FICTION. So let me ask you this question to sum this up. Why debate wether a game is an MMO or not?

Cause Im probly going to get flamed for having low post,

FLCL

ICY currently has the leading definition.

Exactly as he says, mmo referes to the illussion of one persistant world. Lobby servers break the flow of a persistant world.

In a sense, if the user can create a character and that characters' "origin" start (birth into the universe) can be defined amung the world, with out interuption (excludes log offs) move from area to area, that world is persistant and has a very strong (if not garanteed) possibility of being a TRUE mmo.

rEFRAIN FROM THOSE TYPOS PLEASE >_>

Those weren't typos, they were simply mistaken.

You do realize that in proper grammer, the masculine sense is universal, much like the word mankind.

Of coarse when talking in a formal sense, one should never be so general, but when talking of strangers, it is perfectly fine to refere to everyone as "he".

Plus: I didn't know.

TOPIC STARTER: U R A KN7GHT WANNABE... kn7ght used to start topic on how gay warrock was, lmao respect tho

That´s sexism!!! why must be generalize the world by a masculin word?!?!? sexism!!!!!!!!

I understand...just ...whinning about it >_>

That´s sexism!!! why must be generalize the world by a masculin word?!?!? sexism!!!!!!!!
No. It's not sexism as it's not discrimnating the female gender in any possible way. Sexism is however when you start to believe that everyone of a gender can be generalised, like that every woman is insulted that I don't write he/she/it every time I talk about a stranger.

Yes, I'm bored.

I actually learned that masculine (in the informal sense) is genaeral from several of my odl high school english teachers, who are themselves women.

Guess SkateZero is learning his definitions now.=]



THREAD CLOSED

Sir, you need to learn MMO-player vocabulary. MMO is massive multiplayer online. Gunz has massive people playing it, it's multiplayer, and it's online. And it's a third person shooter. Therefore, it's a MMOTPS. I'm not going to flame you because I only have one warning left, until someone reconizes my heroic battle with the fearsome thread troll known as Capo. Ah well.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry... "Gunz has massive people playing it" - you calling me fat, boy? Eh, eh!?

People need to quit bringing their obsessive compulsive freakouts to forums. It doesn't make a damn bit of difference what you call it, the term is used to describe a general group of games. As long as it's understood what you're getting, it can be called an MMOFPS.


Furthermore, in the case of Gunz, Warrock and Rakion, everyone is on ONE SERVER. Your level/rank/money are all carried over from one game to another. As far as your character is concerned, it's all connected from one game to another. It's different from say FEAR Combat, Enemy Territory, or America's Army in which the only thing that counts in a match is the frags you get IN THAT match. Those are FPS, those are the games which each server is segregated from one another.

In the case of Gunz, which is technically an MMOTPS (MMO Third Person Shooter), there aren't enough games which qualify as TPS to actually consider it a seperate genre. Additionally, the term FPS has become a word of its own rather than an abbreviation, and people don't read it as First Person Shooter, but rather it's an understood meaning when you see it by itself.

1st - Learn to read previous posts before posting. I said THREAD CLOSED since it's leading to a flame war and no one is taking seriousness in researching the real definition.

As you will say " U're just a noob and a closed minded, your definition sux. I'll just quote it from Wikipedia
A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, and is played on the Internet. Typically, this type of game is played in a giant persistent world.

MMOs can enable players to compete with and against each other on a grand scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. Most MMOs require players to invest large amounts of their time into the game.


That mean it's ONE WORLD for the WHOLE game. Having 100ppl/server or game is NOT CONSIDERED AS MMO. It's only MO ( Multiplayer Online).


Gunz is not MMO, rakion is not MMO nor will warrock be MMO.
