    Why I quit MMOs and never looked back, because even more than 20 years ago toxic behavior was being normalized, and that included offline PK.

    Fucking little assholes nearly killed a grandmother.

      Is Minecraft really even a MMO? My understanding is that it’s usually smaller servers. This was probably more just some asshole using her streaming to attack, rather than a toxic player.

        There are massive Minecraft servers handling hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, but most are small of course.

          That’s if you play one of those. Seems like she was in a single player world. I wouldn’t consider Minecraft an MMO in the typical sense.

            True. Minecraft is not like any other game in several ways. It can be a lot of different things. But one of those is both massive multiplayer and online.
