I'd say that WoW is a MMO based on "Pen and Paper" RPGs. I think that sums it up neatly.
That said, I wish that they weren't trying to turn D&D into an MMO with fourth edition. I enjoy both types of play. And while I do enjoy chocolate in my peanut butter (mighty tasty) I don't like the idea of computers being so heavily involved in my tabletop RPG experience.
It's fine for prep work and reference, but I don't want to play remotely or have to have a subscription to have up-to-date rules tweaks.
Now I'm getting all nostalgiac about the "olden days" where house rules that fixed borked system mechanics changed from game to game and were as much a part of the experience of play as the game itself. "I love Dave's D&D, but Bob's is way too deadly."
