Sports going MMO?

Over the last several months I have noticed that sports games have gone MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online). First I saw golf with Shot-Online then I heard about a few baseball MMO call Ultimate Baseball Online and now I read today that they are releasing a basketball MMO called Freestyle Street Basketball. So what does this mean to fantasy MMO fans? Nothing at all. All this means is that companies are making some MMOs for other people other than RPG fanatics. We have already seen this in the past with Sims Online and Auto Assault which appeal to the Sim and car battle fans. FPS (first person shooter) fans have Huxley coming out this year and they will probably like Tabula Rasa when it comes out also.

This is a great time to look at what is available (mmorpg.com) and try them. Most of them are free to try or in public beta. Not a fantasy MMO fan? You have many choices out there that are not fantasy RPG themed.
