Massively Single-Player
"I've heard 'massively single-player' batted around by various people, and I think that's close." (Joshua Drescher, Warhammer Online)
A nice (and true) citation from Warhammer Online’s Associate Producer Joshua Drescher:
“Seventy-five percent of the titles on the market that claim to be ‘MMO’ are actually single-player or limited group-oriented games that just happen to have lots of other people running around, doing the same things and having no impact on one another. In my view, to truly be a ‘massively multiplayer’ experience, the extant population of the game world has to have some sort of impact on you – regardless of whether or not they’re in your raid group or guild. Otherwise, you’re basically just regarding those thousands of other people as window dressing and they might as well be NPCs at that point…“
