They're definitely easier now. Msot of the "don't try to create your own MMO" advice comes from mid 2000s. People were amazed by the concept of games like World of Warcraft (and the $$ they brought), so they wanted to make their own WoW without being aware of how complex such games are. And this was in times before Unity and other game engines.
It's easier to create a game like this. There are even MMO middlewares available. Still, when people say MMO, you can never tell whether they just mean a persistent online world, or literally a world that can fit thousands of players in it at the same time.
