Well, MMOs don't really need DRM. They mostly just need anti-cheat. The server can check for legit ownership or not. Usually it's only single-player games that get cracked.
MMO's get cracked too. Used to play Ragnarok Online in a pirate sever paying 0$.
They can. It's a lot harder and different though. It requires emulating the server software and replicating it. It won't be the same servers as the main game, and also usually requires knowledge of something not provided with the game.
