<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''MMO''' means Massively Multiplayer Online.<ref name=":0">[https://twitter.com/RichardGarriott/status/1681738698038099971 @RichardGarriott], Twitter, Jul 19, 2023</ref> [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen|''Star Citizen'']] is an MMO, while [[StarCitizen:Squadron 42|''Squadron 42'']] isn't.<br />
<br />
The term MMO was coined at [[StarCitizen:Origin Systems]] by Richard Gariott's team trying to differentiate ''Ultima Online'' from MUD’s and other dial up service multiplayer games.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Foremost, was the concept of “massive”, meaning that truly thousands or more players could simultaneously connect and interact with each other live in the game world. <ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
As ''Ultima Online'' had significantly more success than Electronic Access had projected, they still had to “[[StarCitizen:shard]]” the world.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
While ''Ultima Online'' was mostly a single flat world, Origin Systems did not intend to imply that the massive number of players in an MMO could not also have smaller [[StarCitizen:Instancing|instanced]] spaces, rather / mostly that all players in a shard can see and interact with each other.<ref name=":0" /><br />
