It’s a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.
You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

I’ve been living under quite a rock then, haven’t heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)

If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.

what makes wow not a live service game? aren’t all MMOs by definition live service?
tonytins@pawb.social 14 hours ago
I mean, yeah. Just don’t tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become.

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.

I genuinely didn’t know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.
