Depends on your definition of an MMO.  To me an MMO has an open,
living, breathing, explorable world with a variety of things to do.
Whether it be questing or just killing stuff to level and find loot.
To appease those that don't want to quest there are several areas that
you can return to, outside of the main story / questline.  Areas to
explore, not to complete some side quest.  Drakensang while a good
single player game, is very rooted in the story and quests.  Combat
seems easy because you can switch between turn-based and realtime at
anytime.  You can form a party and you can have complete control over
those in your group which is more reminiscent of the old Migh and
Magic and Wizardry games.  But its not an open world, the world
becomes larger as you complete quests in the game.
