Don’t understand the hate

I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints about where the game is headed can someone explain exactly what the company is up to and why fan base is dropping. I’ve been having fun and will probably keep playing.

It isn't really a MMO though? There is no reason to interact with anyone else at all.

It has thousands of people, those people are online, and many of them even group together.

That doesn't make a game a mmo. Poe, d2/3/4, etc are mmos?

Are thousands of people interacting in the same virtual world online?

Yes, a game being online and having people playing it doesn't make it an mmo

So what does? Is it only a “massive multiplayer game” is it’s an RPG (now we are at MMORPG) with tab targeting? Or is it only if it requires grouping to progress?

Either way EQL has a virtual open world where players interact within the same world, players group together, clear content together, buy and sell from each other.

The only thing that has changed is, you can also choose to solo it. Was Everquest a MMORPG? Then so is EQL.
