Roleplaying.

Yeah, plus some games are just terrible sources for roleplaying, at least when it comes to any form of action. It's rare that a game makes it easy to perform tasks while typing, and reliable clear-quality voice chat is hard to find.

For instance, Champions Online and City of Heroes/Villains would seem like a perfect place to roleplay the entire superpowers deal, but any form of action is always taken quickly and immediately, whereas typing or talking requires delay. The flow gets screwed up pretty hardcore. Few games really have a system that truly friendly to a more storytelling experience.

Speaking of which, I should consider looking back into the Shadowrun game. Perhaps I could drag some friends into it, if I bought it for myself~

You can find some roleplaying guild/clan/corporation. Every MMOG has them. You can even start one.

Just wait until the winter sales come up. If you do end up wanting to try CL, you'll need both Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. Used to have a lot of fun there, but just kinda got tired of playing it. I was spending a LOT of time there. Played all three sides of the coin (except EMT's), law abiding citizen, cartel/drug growing operations, and as an Officer.

All sides have their ups and downs, but I probably liked being a cop the best part, although it was a lot like having a job instead of an actual "game", although, I guess that's what happens when you join something that's about role playing.
