There is such a vast difference between say D&D at a tabletop and an MMOG, the type of experiences they create that I don't put them in the same category. Neverwinter Nights with a DM is different than WoW in most ways too, its seeking to emulate the tabletop using the video game medium way more than an MMO. I've played a lot of MMOG and it just can't scratch the same itch as the tabletop game and its by design.  Pretty much as everyone has to be a star and not just you as is the case in a RPG.  You can't be the one to save the queen, everyone else paid too and they want to do it as well.  There is role playing at times in MMO's, but I've also seen/done rp'ing in Talisman or other board games as well.</blockquote>
