As for this im not sure, if many actually know whats the short term mmorpg stands for.

Massiv Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

The playerbase of zone doesn't really qualify it for a massive amount, some LAN sessions in basements have a higher playerbase.

Role playing is well self explaining, the process to switch over into the role of characters, Zone itself doesn't offer more than one role, and the lack of teamplay, so it could be considered a wannabe RPG.

It doesn't need the hours and hours of grinding creeps, which makes it what it is, an skill based game with exceptions.

Leaves it a MWOPG

its an arcade shoot 'em up

the stats dont reflect the skill anymore, thats why i dont care about them, the stats reflect how long you can spend grinding free kills or how quickly you can press your jetpack hotkey to escape.

NOWADAYS, yes.

Back in the day, though, it was a struggle. I look at Dreth's kills/deaths (my neighbor and best mate irl) and am surprised. I mean, he wasn't half bad back when he played. He quit a long time ago, of course, before Tsunami/Jar Jar or you, IXI, had started playing.

He has like a 3:1 kill ratio or something. I think it might be in part because it was the good ol' days when going kamikaze was FUN. Anyone here remember charging base 1 with a white flag? The goal was to get inside the bunker before you got destroyed by the hordes of noobs.

Man, good times...
