MMO, MMORPG or CORPG
[edit]Hi! Checking the wiki site for Guild Wars, [1], it states that Guild Wars is a Competitive/Cooperative Online Role Playing Game. It further states that it is named this way, instead of an MMORPG, because it is different to other MMOs. However, it is also clear that they view the game as an MMO - they constantly refer to it in terms of "other MMOs of the time". Even though we don't normally regard wikis as reliable sources, and this is a wiki that can be edited by anyone with an account, it seems that there may be room to question if this is an CORPG or MMORPG, but either way it is still regarded as an MMO. In addition, the prizes it was given as an MMO, and the wealth of secondary sources describing it as an MMO (or even as an MMORPG) suggest to me that MMO remains the way to go. Accordingly, I've reverted the recent changes. - Bilby (talk) 05:03, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
