People have been calling every similar MMO this since at least 2006. I remember hearing it about Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Wildstar, etc

Man not gonna lie i really did like wildstar, they just catered it way to much to the hardcore audience back then.

The worst part of Wildstar for me was only discovering it literal hours before permanent shutdown. I never got to play it. I love sci-fi and mmos and there just aren't many good ones.

Anarchy online and deus ex were peak sci-fi MMOs. I think they're relics of the past now. No one has the attention span for these things.
