Oh, but it's not a 'single player game' if you're online with a massive amount of people playing the same game at the same time and able to interact. What I'm saying is that MMO no longer means "group content only" which is how most traditional MMO players continue to believe it means. The fact remains that most newer MMOs and even older MMOs are expanding to add more and more solo content because they realize there is a huge market for players who want to play a long-term, frequently updated game but without requirements of strictly group content. As I mentioned, ESO is considered an MMORPG and yet it's mostly solo quest content and it's thriving. Other MMOs are seeing this and wanting to jump on the bandwagon as well. I remember when DCUO devs proclaimed that 'solo players are an anomaly' in their game and began limiting their solo content... a few months later... they changed course and began adding more solo content once again.

So that was my point, that MMO no longer means 'group only' content... which so many like to continue to cling to.
