Talk with WOW devs - What they say!

Steff:
RP meens interaction between players. So offline RPGs where never RPGs.
RPG system and world games but no RP.

ToyokaX:
The technical sense of "RP" is not dead (in a sense). "RP" (Role Playing), is both determined consciously and subconsciously. You may be playing a character that is not like yourself, but you don't talk or act as they would (that is for example, you don't 'talk like dis mon' when playing a troll): this is subconscious RP. You are playing the role of the character, without actually "being" the character. Conscious RP is a different aspect, which many seem to think to be dead at present. Conscious RP is when you're typing out your character words as if you were in-fact that character. World of Warcraft is a very subjective matter in this case. Many believe it to be a troll-fest, but others will find to be happily playing alongside other mature players, role playing to their delight. It all depends on who you interact with in the game, and how.

SirFranc:
RP = Role Play, where YOU play your character IN Character in a determined setting (mostly fantasy) that evolves around you.
A RP game (for you all, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Arcanum, Ghotic, Neverwinter Nights) it's a game where the story unfolds around your character/party and you live their adventures as part of the story.
A MMORPG WAS supposed to be similar (like it was Ultima Online) but more interactive having the other party members and fighters around the world as playing characters.

This failed when the software houses discovered that they could reskin a mob and make you kill it 40 times in 40 quests, making many hours of gameplay out of a single mob. And then the "grind" started to be increased savagely.
By the time passed, Lineage 2 (a milestone of grind) came out, and was like one of the first MMOs to be successful AND grind based.
And then WoW came, they made it on purpose to make player addicted, bombed you with advertisement, and dominated the market, woho.
MMOG is the right word, not MMORPG, because the RP part has been lost during the way
That's why for instance i had to redo all gameplay in Coa to make it RP friendly, because i had to remove the grind...

Ok couse this thread has totally changed,i gotta ask u guyz what u think about this,and pls every1 comment this:
What if everything is made whit phases(i dont know how much posible is it,and if u do like that how many GBs will  it need),so when u do all Qs about some mobs,like maby troggs in valley in south  Loch Modan,they acually disappaper,so grind is imposible,only if some1 keep some Q for some time,but it will be rare,atleast not much like today.
And about dailys,well easy answer,make mobs for dailys drop nothing expect almoust no gold,or rly nothing.
