What exactly is a MMO /SMO as it pertains to Sota?

After reading FORBES review (to which i think its on point), here is my thoughts.

The game released, for an MMO there is really no GUILD mechanics to make people say, I want to log in and have fun with my online friends, (other than the niche) (dance parties) (Decoration Shows), nothing against this but this is 2018 not 1997. There are many other games that have the GUILD concept installed and are profiting immensely, even on a Smartphone. 113k people playing or active on the game I play Empires and puzzles.

I applaud the combat and crafting depth and think your heading in the right direction with that, However as Forbes stated, new players want to know whats happening now (unless your targeting those that may sorta know).

I wish to see the game go years as EQ did (i went from launch to 15 years after) However with the current POOL if ya will, most new people want quite a but of guidance, And most may not wish to ask for it,

Just my 2 cents
