I used to think that too, until I started playing Phantasy Star Online for Xbox. Of course, playing through the same 4 levels on different difficuilties got tiring after a while, and as my first true MMORPG (I wouldnt count PSO as an RPG really, discarding its faint level build up system), its really fun, and its not that cheesy with mythical dragons and potions. Theres a faint storyline, but it does fit in there.
