It's that kind of comparison that blurs definitions. MMO does not equal MMORPG, and MMORPG does not equal more crappy fantasy ripoffs.

TF2 is a MMO.

DC Universe Online is a MMORPG.

Neither are similar to WOW.

(also I might add the horrible tendency for people to attach "RPG" to any game with stats in it)
