It's not really an MMO though, from what I heard even the devs stopped calling it that.
Is it not massive enough? I go around in a large sort-of-persistent world (instanced, nevertheless) and occasionally there's this other guy that shoots me and it's not an NPC. Seems like an MMO to me.
I do believe there should be an apology mechanic for the AI.
I finally got a hauler and am going to start space truckin.
