Destiny is not a MMO because: - MMO's have large overwolds with plenty players online - Lots of content , quests , story etc. - Frequent updates, patches and content additions - Lots of classes and specializations - Economy: crafting , trading , selling - Social features : Text chat window , ingame Clan/Guild features , matchmaking , party finder - High amount of raids Large party raids with plenty of players - Item/Gear variety/Transmog - Lots of (free) emotes - Frequent seasonal events

[quote]Destiny is not a MMO because: - MMO's have large overwolds with plenty players online (Overworlds do not define mmos. Several MMOs have purely instanced zones) - Lots of content , quests , story etc. (There are plenty of MMOs that are lacking in one or more of these areas.) - Frequent updates, patches and content additions (hotfixes and weekly patches count) - Lots of classes and specializations (not true) - Economy: crafting , trading , selling (dismantling gives you items and glimmer, which is what you'd get from selling. Some MMOs have no trade system. Can craft year 2 exotics) - Social features : Text chat window , ingame Clan/Guild features , matchmaking , party finder - High amount of raids Large party raids with plenty of players ( games with only 5 to 6 man raids) - Item/Gear variety/Transmog (gear variety exists, you have to range across all content and classes) - Lots of (free) emotes (again, many don't have this option) You played WoW I imagine and everything that could be an mmo has to stack to it. Which simply isn't true. Destiny is an MMORPGFPS - Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game First Person Shooter. It has all of those elements.

nothing massive about destiny , im sorry

Player base is all that accounts for. You have the ability to interact with multiple players within the "lobby" zones. As you would in any instanced MMOs I.e. Vindictus, Tera, Blade and Soul. Multiple "channels" with players spread across them. Patrols also count. If they decided to write the code to just have players host only megaservers then you'd see a mass of numbers, but it would also kill an FPS.

by that definition also Call of duty is a MMORPG , im not here to argue with you , i just dont think destiny qualified into that category , just like borderlands doesnt

With borderlands you don't have the option to interact with more than 3 others. Call of duty would be considered fringe MMOFPS and you can interact with a mass of people. Battlefield would be a much better example, with Planetsode 2 being the best. They still count, but they aren't generally thought of that way. When you start reaching beyond a limited pool of interaction, you start getting into the realm of MMOs. Most games nowadays are MMOs by pure player base, whether or not that is how they are referred to.

You just listed off many elements of destiny. Just because it's in its second year and still needs time to grow, it doesn't mean I can't be classified as an MMO.
