Elvenangel, you are SO asking for a long color-coded reply...let's just leave Mr. Bubbles alone...
The only reason i gave a colour coded reply was so it would be easy for you and anyone else to understand my post sorry for trying to be clear and helpfull.

considering 90% of MMO's are based on the pen and paper RPG its fairly easy to find an MMO like DnD (pen and paper). DnD the MMO is a different story. though it lacks the ... i suppose you could call it...the x factor (that keeps people playing) it does have a lot of well written content. most MMO's now days have the worst questlines and plots ever. its like watching a movie that has awesome special effects and (sometimes) great actors but it has the worst plot/script ever. if MMO devoted enough time to turn MMO's into book like games (much like what pen and paper is. an adventure that you undertake that ends up as a decent story) then people would stay alot longer. i was happy when LOTRO came out because the story was great. 80% of the quests were good but i felt the zones were lacking.
in short...there are games like DnD online but not exact copies
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds -Solid non level based game -Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
Sorry for the late post and the confusion, Yes I am looking for a fanasty like mmo and I would like it to be as close to dnd as possible but I know there are going to be no exact copies. Furthermore I'm gonna try out linage 2 and see how that suites me if it doesnot ill wait for WARhammer to come out.
I agree with the above poster. There are a lot of ways that MMORPGs just cannot compete against Pen and Paper. The first and foremost is true interaction. MMORPGs can give you quantity of interactions, but a tabletop by far gives better quality Torrential
Not to mention you can play other less humanoid races (ie +/- 2 arms or +/- 2 legs). There are -very- few MMOs, and none that pull it off, that have playable races that are no more than reskinned versions of the human race.
