The is a really unfair statement. As any RPG can be power-gamed through. In the time I played EQ (up till the release of planes of power). There were always people that were RP'ing, you just had to know were to find them. The thing I have found is that many people who dis the online RPGs are upset that their persona is not the one at the center of the story, like in a single player rpg. *shrug*
