    MMO still requiring a monthly fee in 2024 is ridiculous.

    May I point you to Call of Duty on consoles? They are Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) that needs a monthly subscription (Xbox Live, which owns Cal of Duty, or PS Plus).

    Online gaming has more people paying for an online subscription today than ever before (Nintendo Online included). While the companies being paid for it have changed, monthly online gaming subscriptions are here to stay and have only gotten larger.

      That’s ok this is a LIVE SERVICE GAME. Definitely not the same as an MMO. Definitely.

      Also I bought that Brutosaur and a friggin love it. Best QOL feature in the game. I don’t even play WoW more than a few times a month.

      I now have all services in the game mobile in some way or another: bank, transmog, mail and auction

        What makes a MMO different from a live service? Both have characters, levels, character progression exp based on killing enemies and doing X actions/quests, and have new content added as time goes on.

        From how I see it, it’s just a different name to just avoid being called a MMO.
