Well I can personally see what you are talking about but I paly on Povar
and believe it or not ppl do RP on my server now you brought up a good point
about the cleric,paladin,and druids about what their roles should be and
should not be and your right. But the RP games that started in 1986 wre
nothing but words actually they were like that for a long time those kind of
RPing games never attracted the kind of assholes that a game with pics and
actuall visual movement thru a world would. Im tellign you as long as there
are RPing games like EQ theres going to be ppl who just wont RP. Hopefully
youll find a RPing game that you like andc have fun.
