Hardcore MMORPG's would be a massive failure if it was released in today's MMORPG era

[Amberion]

Or MMOPG... Massive Multiplayer Online Power Gaming Cos it's all about who has the shiniest toys, not about experiencing the game/world.

Then I would even go as far ass remove the MMO from that. Any game that has its main focus on instances can't be called a MMO.

MMO = A lot of players.
Instance = Few players playing Co-OP.
