To clarify my position before anyone gets up in arms: I really want Home to an MMO experience, I'm just afraid to get my hopes up before seeing a credible source say it is. ;P
Sorry about that double post. :( I'm not used to these internets.
OhJustSomeRandomGuy:
I understand your logic, but nothing I have read regarding Home has led me to believe that there is anything outside of the "instances." Massively multiplayer means a massive number of users in the same environment, n'est ce pas? If all you had to have was many separate environments with a bunch of users in each, then Halo 2 would also be an MMO. Have I misunderstood you?
Perhaps you have a link to data that mentions an environment wherein many users are simultaneously present?
Why does everyone keep referring to Home as an MMO? My understanding is that there is a 64-user-per-environment limit. Can someone link me to official information that contradicts this please?
I have a collection of squares on my left forearm that are in precisely the same configuration as the constituent pixels of the "taking a step" Mr. Saturn sprite.
