And as I edited to my post, Demon's Souls isn't an MMO:



From Wiki:

A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world. They are, however, not necessarily games played on personal computers. Most of the newer game consoles, including the PSP, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DSi and Wii can access the Internet and may therefore run MMO games. Additionally, mobile devices and smartphones based on such operating systems as Android, iOS, webOS, and Windows Mobile are seeing an increase in the number of MMO games available.
yes, Atlantica, sorry, I lost my place in the argument. As far as Demon's Souls goes, by the Wiki definition, Demon's Souls IS a MMO. When players enter the game, they have the option to Sign in to the network or not. When they sign in, they are then placed in an environment where they can call upon fellow players to join their party. Each player's "story," regardless of who is in your party, is instanced, but they are all in the same world, just different instances. Much like GW. The only difference is that the player cannot DIRECTLY, but can indirectly, communicate with players outside of the party. To indirectly communicate, the player can leave spirit messages on the floor and another player may read it, in his own instance, and respond in a similar fashion. That player, when killed, can leave a blood stain that, upon being selected, will show the player how the victim died, which can lead to the avoidance of a trap or ambush. So yes, it IS a MMO.
