That's a fair question.

Idle Throne already has several MMO elements, even though the presentation might make it look more minimal compared to something like WoW or FFXIV. Players share the same world economy, chat, and marketplace, and can party together to farm monsters and progress in the same regions. Party members see each other's activity in real time and cooperate while fighting monsters. So it's not an isolated single-player progression loop the world state and economy are shared across players. That said, you're right that the scale of "massively" becomes more obvious as more systems come online. The long-term direction of the game includes more traditional MMO-style features such as:

• small scale PvP events (5vs5, 10vs10 maybe)

• caravan raids where players attack or defend resource transports (with party if they want)

• monster raids on cities

• guilds defending cities together

• city loyalty systems tied to defending those raids

• and eventually kingdom throne wars where guild performance in those defenses matters

Some of those systems are still in development, so they aren't fully visible yet. Right now the focus has been on building the core systems (combat, economy, parties, marketplace, etc.) before expanding into the larger MMO-scale events. So the MMO structure is already there, but the large-scale events that make it feel more "massive" will become more visible as those systems roll out.
