Not a persistent MMO
- Supernova is not a persistent-world MMO in the sense this site otherwise catalogs.
- It's catalogued here as "Sci-fi MOBA / RTS" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
- It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.
Real MMOs to check out
- This entry is intentionally excluded from MMOFinder's platform, genre, and catalog-wide statistics, since it isn't a persistent-world MMO.
- If you enjoy the loop but want it in a persistent shared world with thousands of other players, look at established fantasy MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV or The Elder Scrolls Online.
- If you came here specifically to check whether this game is an MMO: it isn't, by the definition this site uses (a persistent, shared, many-player online world) — but it may still be worth playing on its own terms.
