Okay... One of the problems I've foreseen with this site is that since the MMOFPS genre in a very open definition, many folks will want games listed that don't necessarily meet the FPS criteria. So now I'm at a crossroad. I don't know if I will list games that are bona-fide MMOFPS games alone. Or if I should list all games that the community wants and just title the genre appropriately, as I have done already.

I've been thinking of breaking things down into sections. For instance:

MMOFPS
(these are persistent online worlds with raw FPS mechanics)
- Planetside
- WW2OL
- Huxley
- Twilight War
- Lost Colony

MMO
(these are games that seem like MMO shooters but lack certain traits that don't make it an MMO, or an FPS)
- Neocron
- Face of Mankind
- Tabula Rasa
- Star Wars Galaxies
- Fallen Earth
- Gunz

Online Games
(These would be your typical death match games that have frequently been confused for MMOFPS's, but aren't.)

- War Rock
- Wolf Team


By several requests, I've also considered adding a Free2Play section.

So, what do you guys think?

Well since most of the games that are coming have the option to change the camera angle (May play 3rd person by choice) I think a way to break it down would be by taking a look at the persistence world and controls.

So I thikn of 2 categories:

.Main MMOFPS: Persistent worlds. Can be played completely in first person (Even if 3rd person exists). No point and click, true FPS controls.
..Planetside
..WW2OL
..Huxley
..Twilight War
..Lost Colony
..Neocron**
..Face of Mankind
..Fallen Earth ( Maybe, it is still unclear )

.Community MMOS: Game that people who play MMOFPSs are also interested in.
..Tabula Rasa
..Eve Online
..AO
..Gunz
..War Rock
..Wolf Team
..Etc

**For Neocron I think it is still a FPS because it has true FPS controls but attacking stuff has some stuff like in point and click games. I would place it there for simplicity also. No need to break your head deciding what category it should be.

That way I think its simpler to separate games.

Anyway, my 2 cents .

I'm thinking to just include everything, but make sure that games that are not strictly MMOFPS are pointed out as so. Even MMO's with some FPS should be included, IMO. I'd make a list, but yours sums it up pretty well.

That's what I was thinking as well. I've been listing games that have been commonly confused for MMOFPS games and just making sure when I list them they are titled according to the right genre.

I've been thinking of removing Wolfteam and Warrock but than I get tons of emails asking why I don't list them. On top of that, if I'm listing these games why am I not listing the Battlefield series or Halo?

Hmm...

I like the idea of having true mmofpss in a separate group than the rest. Maybe only 2 groups? True MMOFPSs and the rest of the games we are interested in. Of course giving more importance to the true ones. I think that keeps it simple and it wont be confusing since you are a mmmofps site and the main games listed would all be true mmofpss.
