As near as I can tell, this site goes by whatever the publisher calls it. Pub calls it an MMO? It's an MMO no questions asked. Pub don't call it an MMO? It ain't an MMO.
why isnt reality fantasy?
DUNPEAL you know what i mean
the thing is lot of game maker name their game mmo to be included in site like this other wise they wouldnt be here
since we all know lot of (aka mmo)arent mmo in the list here but get by because the game maker call it a mmo it ends up in the list
other that dont call them self a mmo but are more mmo then a lot of the game listed here end up on the list 2 (guild wars)
so in the end if you have a chess game but name it mmo it will be listed here(yep its that silly)
Because Diablo III isn't an MMO. It is an RPG, but the primary design of the game is single player. Yes, we'll likely have online play via battle.net like on Diablo 2, but each game is an instanced world with a very finite number of players per game.
Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
To my knowledge if any game has even one form of content in which a massive amount of players can interact in a zone, then it's considered an MMO. Even if it's just walking over and trading an item.
Diablo III probably features game lobbies via battle.net and there you start a server for people to connect publicly or privately from 2-10ish players.
I think people should attach the letter 'G' to "MMO." That way people would see the difference between if it's a game, or a server lobby / chat room.
I can get on Fallout 3, connect to Windows Live, and put together a co-op party and play with them together in an instanced game. Does that make FO3 a MMO? Nope.
To be a MMO, the game must have multi-player support on a massive scale in-game. Having an out-of-game chatroom does not count. Diablo 3, like its predecessors, is designed as a single-player game with online co-op and PvP capabilities, but these online features are not to a massive scale.

does any one know his avatar? I ask as a question
I would agree with this.
I find it interesting that Diablo II (III) comes up a lot in respects to it being a multi-player game. I always knew it had multi-player but in my mind it was always a single player game. I did sign up once to try the multi-player part but it felt very awkward (to my tastes) to find a game and get into it. I suppose for my limited time with it it felt like i was joining a very specific game with specfic players.

Its painfully simple really, 6 player multiplayer does not an MMO make. Characters persistent you say ? In the same way as ones MW2 profile.

You can always discuss D3 in the general gaming sections but I really don't think it needs to have its own little space here.

Lots of games have that but send players out into quality, no lag, instanced games like Global Agenda and Guild Wars just because they have MMO cities. Which I think is fair though.

yep i agre diablo is a multiplayer online game like all blizzard upcoming title
unless just to prove me wrong they dicide to bring back world raid dragon but in an instance of say 1000 player total
that would be just my luck lol,but i doubt it so i can safely say all blizzard title are mo
it isnt a bad thing ,but if a player go in for a mmo and the games are just mo i bet those player wont be happy and rightly so!

you can leave guild wars out since arenanet did say gw was a CORPG from day one
they never said it was a mmo or a mo for arenanet it is a corpg!

Not you can't, what are you smoking?

No, you really can. There might be a word for it. You all play the same single player game at the same time and chat!
MMORPGs are, by design, intended to be played with thousands of others on a single server.
Diablo III, like Diablo and Diablo II, is a dungeon crawler designed as single-player first, but with multi-player capabilities.
They're not the same thing.

hehe anything these days is an mmo til a better term is coined
Yes you can. The co-op only aspect actually bums me out. When I first read FO3 was going to be playable on Windows Live I was hoping for some PvP action a la Counterstrike, but then I found out its co-op only... so sad...

Because DIablo III is a RPG with online aspects not a MMO-RPG. There is a difference.
And Diablo III will never be released. xD
The sceptic in me wants to say that it could just be that they haven't payed to advertise it here
lol i wish !but no mather if its a solo or just a simple multiplayer game ,the sad truth is
an insane amount of player i know will go play diablo 3 when its released!
By the definition of what is allowed to be posted STO meets the requirements. In the FAQ (available on the bottom of every forum page, there is a section about getting games added. I'll paste it below for convenience.
www.mmorpg.com/faq.cfm/showFaq/4/I-think-there-is-a-game-that-needs-to-be-added-to-your-list-How-do-I-submit-this.html
It lists the requirements that must be met, what information is needed, and who to submit it to.
