Hello, as a long time MMO player, one thing has always been high on my priority list.
Phat Lewt doesn't count.
I'm talking, specifically of the 2 most dreaded letters in MMORPG, RP.
Given that it was EQ back in the kunark/velious days that took my MMO virginity, once I found Project 1999, it was my sincerest hope that there was a guild (or indeed, an entire subcommunity) dedicated to Roleplaying.
One thing I'd have to state is, while I used to be a semi-dedicated EQ player back in the "good old days", I've forgotten so much I have to use the companion maps so I don't so much as get lost in Freeport.

Anyone who is playing is role playing. It is just that over years some people have (as is typical of human groups) come to set standards that define what you feel is role-playing and to what level. Some might consider going around and buffing new players role play because they are playing a nice avatar. And others laugh at that because only a true role-player in their mind is someone sitting in full plate armor in RL or wearing a wizard hat and robe while asking the serving wench (aka mom) for some more mead(aka Yoo-hoo).
