PSO is an MMORPG (in fact first of its kind, at least on a console) so it’s not really about having an end goal but more about guilds going on quests together.

Eh...I think the term "MMORPG" is incorrect. It was clearly in the vein of the original Diablo (and they're not at all shy about admitting this).[0] Even though the lobbies may have been "massive", each local game-room was still capped to 4 players.
