People hear the term MMO and see a shooter with space suits and immediatly freak out "OMG ITS NOT PLANETSIDE/DEFIANCE THIS GAME IS **** OH GOD IM TERRIBLE AT THE GAME LIKE EVERYONE IS WHEN THEY STARTED PLAYING BUT ILL BLAME MY LACK OF SKILL AND EXPERIENCE ON THE GAME DESIGN INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY LEARNING HOW TO GET GOOD LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO SMOKE MY ASS EVERYTIME I PLAY. NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT THEY OBVIOUSLY CAN SPAWN AND GET KILLS DESPITE THE 'BROKEN' MECHANIC THAT PREVENTS ME FROM HAXXORING THE NEWBS THAT I TOTALLY AM NOT" |

MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online Game
Massive:
Dust consists of multiple battles between mercenary ground forces using infantry weapons and equipment to secure planets. Planets are part of a persistent online universe connected to EVE online. There are 67,253 planets in EVE, most of which will be playable eventually. Currently we only fight for Temperate planets, for a total of 7200 different planets. With the addition of Planetary conquest, a large chunk of those planets will be able to be captured, controlled, and fought for by players. Corps will have to move troops around, allocate resources, and defend territory to keep their empire alive. This system will be expanded further as the beta progresses.
Dust514 is a MASSIVE game
Multiplayer:
At any given moment there are tens of thousands of pilots in the skies in EVE, meaning all the more people on standby to nuke you from orbit. The numbers for Dust are unconfirmed, but estimates place the number of characters in the hundreds of thousands. EVE and Dust work well in tandem and although the connection is infantile right now, they do help and support one another if you participate in Corp Battles and Faction Warfare. The EVE/Dust Universe has thousands upon thousands of players doing battle and fighting for dominance in the universe all the time.
Dust514 is a MULTIPLAYER game
Online:
Duh.
Dust514 is an ONLINE game.
....So anyone who says Dust isn't an MMO is a moron. Just because you're in your merc quarters between battles doesn't mean the fighting in the universe has stopped. The fight is ongoing and endless, players and corporations vying for dominance in a harsh world. Dust514 is the posterchild for an alternative style of MMO and all the QQers would do well to realize that. |

Mad bro?
Also I pretty much just explain why it is an MMO, if you would like to calmly explain how I am wrong I would love to see your rebuttal. But right now you're just screaming and it's making you look foolish. |

Azaiziel wrote:Simply because all the MMOs I've ever played have more than 20 people running around shooting each other on a relatively small map. Not exactly diverse, either. It's like they've just got the PVP element of an MMO. MMOs have a hundred times more people playing on one large map. Not sure how this game is going to progress in the future, but for now, to me and other people I know that are hard core MMO-rs, this doesn't qualify.
But as I said, you have to see the entire universe as a map, not just the little segment of ground you're running on. Is it like World of Warcraft? No, but it still qualifies as an MMO because of how it ties in with EVE. I believe the official title of the game is actually "EVE Online: Dust 514"
Dust is just a part of EVE, and while in beta and not full fleshed out yet, it is undeniable that because it IS part of EVE. The fact that EVE is a single server (Which Dust is part of) actually makes it in a way, MORE of an MMO that say WoW or other more traditional MMOs.

Didn't expect everyone to start crying coz I didn't like their game!
