    What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

      checks Seems games as a service model that we know today really picked up steam at around the late 2010s. So, yeah…

    I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.

    what makes wow not a live service game? aren’t all MMOs by definition live service?

      I mean, yeah. Just don’t tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become.
