MMORPG's have a story. In the story, you are not the only hero. That is the difference. Its more of a group community writing the story. That is what I think makes them so fun. I do agree that many games like Dark Age of Camelot turd out a crap story and just focus on a good platform. You just can't say that is true for all MMOs.

Although they are a little different, old fasioned text based muds were excellant online roleplaying games, and seldom, did they not have an ongoing story. You just don't find that in modern MMO's
