[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 4367192, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] Let's be honest here, the imagination of most people varies, it always has. And just like some people are physically better at sports or more booksmart, some people are more imaginative. And the ones who can take their imaginings from their mind into the real world can earn alot of money making things like games, movies, books, and the like. So the death of imagination will never occur. Just like it didn't occur with the invention of what was termed the "idiot" box, it haven't heard that term before then let me just say the television. MMORPGs and video games just expand the number of mediums available for manipulation by imaginative people with the drive to bring their imagination to the masses in some fashion. So I wouldn't look at MMORPGs as the death of the imagination, but an extension of it. Someone wanted to take roleplaying games and render them into an interactive virtual world. I like what they did. It doesn't take away from sitting around with a bunch of friends and playing an pen and paper RPG. You can do both and have fun. Our entire group plays WoW and played EQ. We brought a friend that plays WoW and EQ into our roleplaying group. He really likes pen and paper gaming. He gets into. If anything, WoW and EQ helped this guy visualize the fantastic powers and fighting ability that DnD has always had. [/QUOTE]
