I'll admit, I'm a bit (a lot) of a nerd, but I've never reached my nerdy potential. I can feel it, the potential, but I've never been able to reach it, mainly because I don't have any time to dedicate to the start-up or up-keep of RPG characters. I don't have access to 1) many people I'd like to play with, 2) baby-sitters or 3) the amount of people needed to play something like Dungeons and Dragons for instance.
But I'm not keen on starting something in a video game as a way to try to fill that hole. There's something cool I associate with the pencil and paper kind of games and WoW isn't going to fill that hole.
So I say how come you can't play something like Dungeons and Dragons or some other RPG game on an IM?
Imagine: You set up a game of however many people are playing and the person running the game to the same messenger, and set aside a particular time where everyone can get to a laptop or home computer and play. Just so long as they promise to stay honest with the dice rolls, I don't see it as being too bad.
It's definitely something I'd like to try.

You should look into something called MUDing. I guess google MUD RPG. I never got into it, but my friend Kevin loved it. It stands for Multi-user dungeons or something like that. It's a text based D&D over the internet.
