I have a love-hate relationship with EQ, but anyone who tells me it's role playing should be shot *snickers*

Oh I know! I quit World of Warcraft within a month because everywhere one walked were people named "MiniMagician" or "Nachocheeseman" or "MisterPoopBucket" running around talking 100% OOC, just gaining levels for the grand divine right to call other players "N00B!" Meanwhile the roleplaying here is so thick you'd need a mithral pickaxe to chisel it.
I wound up making a Lonnarin for Guild Wars recently who's already started the "Roleplay Or Die!" Guild. It's mission statement is to stay IC 100% of the time and scoff at the silly L33t madmen with our medeival accents. How many members ye ask? oh yeah, still just me.
No online game populace chooses to RP except for privately run NWN servers, I've found. Open source gaming and people like Leanthar & Co. who make use of it and enforce the atmosphere are the future of online roleplaying I think. I'm really hoping that NWN 2 continues this trend and beefs up their PW support with better administrative menus and such.
As for women and gaming, yeah its broken up quite a few relationships for me. Luckily I forgot all about them once I hit lvl 9...
