@Olorinus: General question, but how do you feel about LARPing?
I can't even find people to trade pokemon in real life, finding folks to play in costume with sounds even more difficult.
More seriously though, I think it is easier to let go and enjoy role playing in a video game because you can truly be whatever you want. Pretending to cast a fireball isn't quite as neat as doing it in a videogame. I think I would feel awfully silly LARPing
I did a LARP event once... never again.
It devolved towards the end as a lot of:
"My axe cleaves your arm off"
"Nuh uh, I totally had a shield spell up".
"Uh no you didn't dude, and besides, my magical axe can cut through them"
"Uh no way punk, my shield spells were gifted to me from the gods of protection and are impervious"
"No way suck face, there's no such thing"
"Yuh huh"
"Nuh uh"
This is also why I generally have a distaste for PvP online.
