Unfortunately, it seems I never succesfully made the switch from the Pen&Paper RPGS (I played AD&D and Call of Cthulu for a few years) to CRPGS, let alone MMORPGS. I like Oblivion however, but that's the first RPG i spent more than a few hours on in years. Other RPGS I played for more than a bit were mostly of the Japanese variety: FF7, Suikoden II, and Jade Cocoon come to mind. I've often wondered why I never felt particularly attracted to the American style of CRPG. I suppose it has something to do with the storytelling, or maybe I'm subconsiously biased towards linear gameplay. I did sit in on a few sessions with a friend who plays WoW (who was also an avid AD&D player btw), and well... the game just doens't feel like a proper RPG to me. The fact that there's so little roleplaying, people are out of character ALL the time,the endless level threadmill, it all put me completely off. Then again,I even got bored with the threadmill in Planetside, but friends who had played different MMORPGs before, found the levelling in that game refreshingly fast. So there you go. It's probably me.
