MMO's don't require a GM. MMO's don't require prep time. For the most part, MMO's just serve up everything. You turn it on and go. The cool pictures are there, the sound effects, the evil wizard giving a speech doesn't sound just like your dorky friend doing his Darth Vader impression.

While "design ethic" can have an impact on which MMO someone chooses, it is not why someone chooses MMOs over tabletop, in my opinion.

YMMV.



That's right. And at risk of being banned - You people should have embraced New Coke, Highlander II, the second Darrin, and The Phantom Menace! To claim they were not Coke, Highlander, the true Darrin of Bewitched, and Star Wars is a fallacy. :P

*hides*

I agree completely.
