Those that roleplay on WoW RP realms put so much work into breaking the boundaries of the game design that they may as well just play the Warcraft RPG and be done with it.The defining characteristic of a true roleplaying game is the ability for the 'referee' (DM/Judge/GM/whatever) to improvise. One day a computer will be able to do that at least as well as the best DM's today at which point I think the whole world will suddenly realise exactly what the rest of us have known all along: good roleplaying is pretty much the ultimate gaming experience.</blockquote>
