Note: NOT an MMO, they called it a massively multiplaye ACTION game. I'm expecting it to be a little like a little like falout3/new vegas, but in space, and (probably) has a large vehicular influence. I saw that Bungie has filed copyrights for 4 different URLs (possible names). they are Osiris, New Monarchy, Seven Seraphs, and Dead Orbit. I am particuarly concerned about these titles, as they give a MUCH darker impression of a game than the previous working title, Bungie Aerospace. The last one i especially dislike. It feels like a rip off of Dead Space and Dark Orbit. I liked Bungie Aerospace and i hope they stick with that.

I should have clarified this. Not calling it an MMO means that Bungie is trying to not put it into the same category as an MMO-RPG, which is what many people associate MMOs as. MMOs can be anything, on any subject matter, or a number of them at once as long as many people play it at one and interact in a large, often player-defined area(s) (ie: multiple clan controlled territories per map). MMO-RPGs tend to be menu-based (lots of Clicking/ button pushing) and often use turn based and dice-roll mechanics to handle combat and events (look at internal commands/mechanics).
Update 1-------------------------------------------------------
Concerning Fees and (micro)Transactions
Bungie's MMO will most likely have no fees of any kind (exept for DLC or micro-transactions. ie: Mass Effect 2's Firepower pack 80 mP=3 new weapons) if they want to keep their loyal fan bese.
Since Bungie is paired up with activision, the game should probably be made for consoles, and no fee of any kind should be needed to play.
I hope this answers some questions and eases some of your worries, but rember, the content my Fees/(micro)Transactions section is only speculation based upon both companies' history, recent and long-term.
