MMO's killed rpgs. Why? Because the average gamer thinks that RPG's means levelling, instead of what's missing from virtually *all* online games and MMOs: ROLE playing.
I fail to see the point, for example, of playing an MMO with voicechat on, when all you hear are geeky teenagers spouting off random combinations of "pwn/noob/lolz/instance/raid/clan".
I am not advocating a game full of thee and thine-obsessed RPG'ers, but there is a middle ground.
