Crazy Rant Alert

I all big about language (which will surely make Carrie laugh when she reads this), because I feel Language affects people's perspective. So there for I will no longer refer to MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying) as such. I will endeavor to refer to it as MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game), because there's just not really that

Hmmm...

Let's say I play WoW. Let's say my main character is an Orc Warrior.

If I make a conscious choice to kill every living thing I see (including little bouncing bunnies and those stupid rats, which I cannot skin, btw), does that make it role-playing?

Just curious...

Well playing an Orc Warrior that kills things is in character, but in a very simplistic way (but then you don't get much more in D&D sometimes). But then in Magic you're playing the role of a Wizard casting spells to defeat your rival, so that's "in character" as well
