To me online rpgs are the past. MMORPGs are where its really at! Who wants to play with a few people when you can play with hundreds to millions lol?

There is a lot of margin between 8 people and 2000. What about little MMOs with only 100-300 people on at a time?

Well that was just and example. Ok I'll try to come up with a better way:

MMO: a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world.

Online game: games that are played over some form of computer network, most commonly the Internet. The expansion of online gaming has reflected the overall expansion of computer networks from small local networks to the Internet and the growth of Internet access itself.

In other words MMORPG is a role playing game that is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously and have at least one persistent world.

Online RPGs are role playing games that is played over a computer network that expands from a small local network (Ex:lan) to the internet (Ex:battle.net) and can have persistent worlds.
