They must have been talking about the user-designed content (plug-ins) available, cuz MW is not and never will be an online game.

Not at this time
   

An MMORPG needs to be designed from the ground up to be one - it's pretty unlikely that Bethesda could turn Morrowind into an online game.

The focus of such games is very different too - usually the landscapes are bland and uninteresting, and the focus of the game is just hitting enemies repeatedly until they fall over. A game like Morrowind succeeds because the player is the center of attention - all the NPCs act towards you, every dungeon you enter is being entered supposedly for the first time. Can't do that with a MMORPG.

For me this is no big problem - I like offline games a lot more than online ones, and prefer richness of world and experience over having lots of other people around any day.
