Right. The statement that the "player was banned for roleplaying" is
what we call spin or propaganda. Dozens of other players have posted
stories of their EQ characters around the net. I don't consider it
roleplaying either. But to say EQ bans roleplaying begs the question,
why haven't these other "roleplayers" been banned?
I am as suprised as you to learn that Stephen King and Margaret Mitchell
were actually roleplaying rather than merely writing stories.
