Talk:Massively multiplayer online role-playing game

I think this page should stay. The term MMORPG is much more common than the term CMORPG that they made up for Guild Wars. The distiction between the two is tenuous at best. Both systems involve people from around the world who can all play at the same time. All such games limit group size, and many these days also feature instanced areas where only your group may venture.

The way i read the marketing literature, the intended distinction between 'C' and 'M' has to do with the method in which Guild Wars employs PvP gameplay. Not with the way grouping works. --Squeg 09:47, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Just to play devils advocate with myself. It does seem that the chances of someone coming to read about guild wars when they don't already know what this term means, seems small to me. So maybe it's just fluff. --Squeg 18:44, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)

Skuld, why do you feel it is unrelated? --Karlos 14:56, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)

Most recent Delete Request
It appears that Skuld REALLY hates this article. He posted a delete request in Oct 2005 which Karlos removed, and has now added it again in May 2006. I vote for keeping the article. It is relevant as most players and magazine articles still refer to GW as a MMORPG. The article is linked to by several other articles which use it to clarify the terminology used in those other articles. --I am 161.88 18:42, 24 May 2006 (CDT)

Usually classified?
Pretty much everyone except ANet calles it an MMORPG. "Guild Wars" MMORPG gets about a hundred times as many hits on google as "Guild Warsp" CORPG. -- Gordon Ecker 18:50, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
