Minecraft: A New Kind of MMO

I'm interested in games that allow for endless play, which requires good, robust systems and the ability to allow for self, self-driven player goals. It used to be there weren't a lot of examples of successful games like that. And now it's just like, yeah, it feels like there's more examples than of like the more traditional games. I can play with friends in an open world that we have a lot of power to manipulate, change and to create within Minecraft does the same thing. Yeah. The top down MMO is probably not coming back because you don't need it.
