Dark Souls is an entirely different beast than an MMO. You can't compare genre's within gaming because there are entirely different rules and standards between them all.

However, Dark Souls is a casual game. Is it difficult? Yes. It's exceptionally difficult and it's still very much a casual game because you can jump in and jump out. You can beat it in no time at all really. The way that MMOs were designed as time sink after time sink after time sink would bomb. Because for all that people complain about casual meaning easy and hardcore meaning difficult what it comes down to is if you can put more time into horizontal progression you'll be better not because of skill but because you have more free time. Dark Souls gets this and doesn't do that, that is why it's successful difficulty is the challenge not poorly designed time sinks.
