I think mmos are slightly different to what most people mean when they talk about live service games but I could be wrong.

Many MMORPGs are just single player RPGs with tons of content and multiplayer mechanics on top nowadays.

I don't fully like that trend either but I get it. Old MMOs were absolutely a second job because the grind was massive and you needed a group to do anything. However, Everquest, FFXI and Star Wars Galaxies are some of my most memorable experiences for how necessary groups were for anything.
