I don't think there's any such thing as a MMORPG. They're really MMOs. Far too many players are disinterested in character development in MMOs, turning them into console games. I still love the genre for the mechanics and the occasional RP, though, so I keep plunking my $15 down every month to continue starving in a so-called MMO"RPG".

It's a sad commentary that I've had my best RP experiences with GMs while *reporting* name violations on RP servers, as the GMs RPed the entire experience...

I have resigned myself to playing my well-developed RP characer alongside characters named "Tron", "ChuckNorris", "Urgaylol", etc.

Thankfully, I'm old enough to enjoy "pen and paper" RPGs, so I know where to go to get my real RP gaming experience...though I still dream of a true MMORPG. I'd be a customer for life.
