What's great about EQ isn't that its a "traditional" roleplay game where people fake voices, never break character, etc...
EQ is a real rpg because over time you start to care about a fake world with real world emotions. These emotions in EQ are real, and they have a wide spectrum...hate, love, jealousy, pride, embarrassment, etc...
You start to think of your avatar AS yourself. You get used to people calling YOU another name, and respond to that name as though it were your real one.
You forget in the depths of playing your real world problems, and assume the challenges of your avatar in their place.
THESE are what makes EQ a REAL rpg...the voice faking stuff is just superficial.
