Surprisingly, The outdated MMO is WOW, not FFXI/XIV1.2

There are more than two companies making mmo right now. Archeage is probably the newest MMO out currently that has the Old MMO feel, but it is heavy into PvP. All the new stuff coming out is. Even Star Citizen which will probably be the next great MMO will be mostly PvP.

Most companies are not even considering making MMO's anymore; it is an outdated format. The upfront cost is huge and if it fails it's a massive hit, (see: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning).

The hot thing right now is Arena style games and Open World Survival. They are cheep to make too (most OWS arn't even finished).

Will there be a great MMO in the future? Maybe, just not right now.
