Joke or not. I want this. . .

exactly my point. but again when it comes to the specific term of MMORPG. again... it is referring to the role you play. like as in damage, healer or tank.

You are literally the only person in my time on this planet and in MMORPGs, I have seen, that has defined the roleplaying aspect of an MMORPG, as your role as tank,dps,healer, etc. I had to force that to make sense to me.

Final Fantasy, the first one, was an RPG. You didn't have class roles that needed to be adhered to. If I made a party of nothing but fighters would it be a Fighter Playing Game? You take on the role of the heroes of light, not what class they are. XIV, an MMORPG, follows the exact same vein. You take on the role of a so called, "Hero of Light," to save the world or something.

Guild Wars 2 is an MMORPG yet it has no defined roles. So is it not an MMORPG? Literally every MMORPG I've played has put you, the player, in the role of your character, to take part in a predetermined story, or to create your own story. You create a sort of different self and live another life in a different world. Some people take it more seriously than others, but that's what it is.

You're taking the word "Role" and twisting it to fit your own definition. So should we call XIV, a Massively Multiplayer Online, Pick Dps, Healer, or Tank, Playing Game? I do love me some MMOPDHTPG's. Because if we don't differentiate it somehow. Battlefield is an RPG.

Maybe I should ask my girlfriend if she's up for some role play. Then punch her in the face and tell her I picked DPS. (Remember kids, domestic violence is not funny)

you are the only one twisting things out of proportion. it's okay if you don't understand. it's no worries. it's not even important.

correct and correct. these were exactly a couple of the angles i was trying to describe. i am just not good at explaining things. and tend to cause much miscommunication.







either way... again it really is not important. :/

Wait what?

it's not THAT kind of role-play.

by role play game they mean a specific role like I.E., damage, healer, tank and etc.

You're just messing with me then.

You could maybe make the argument that that is the case. But I've never seen anyone who does.

And no it's not important, please don't misunderstand I'm not attacking you. I just usually sound like an asshat.

Because it doesn't make sense. MMORPGS have been around since before the holy trinity. The holy trinity isn't even the same anymore- it used to be healer/tank/crowd control.

Everyone knows what an rpg is... and that it was translated to online gaming and became a morpg then a mmorpg... and that the rpg always meant the same as it did in the original rpg. I am not sure what "role" you play if you were a support character/hybrid according to him...
