They have hardcore RPG servers for people like you. And paperback editions.
What the public wants, it will get. Go found your own exclusive club! You cannot expect people "in the wild" to create the exact atmosphere you desire.
If not chatting about game-specific stuff, they'll be talking about movies, TV, sports, politics, and everything else people talk about on, say, AOL or MSN.

Nice troll...
Some servers could have voice on, and some off. Let everyone play the way they want.
Surely - few beers and I speak with `any-accent-you-want' - dwarvish, elvish, russian...
Here's $100. Buy me some.
"I just want to get my levels/money/items/etc" Translation: I want to be selfish
But, maybe they are roleplaying a selfish character?
Props to realism!
But this is Slashdot. I thought we were completely against all forms of technological innovation?!?

Oh wait, people. Gotcha
anyway, how many games has this guy designed since 1979?
Other than MUD2? Try his website
Yooooooohoooo!
Why would it destroy the role playing element?
I have a decent she-elf accent!
Voice chat is especially useful on consoles, because most do not have a keyboard to type with.
I don't see anything wrong with it. You can set aside some game servers for voice, and some for non-voice, depending on demand.
To each his own!
Well the previous story didn't link to it directly, but I since it talked about the FSF I went to their site and read their detailed opinion.
I know, but my statement still stands ;]
SCO sues Apple and *BSD over IP issues.
The FSF basically says its ok to use software released under Apple 2.0 but under no circumstances release your own software with a similar license.

Only gays use Macs.
Indeed, all their users are quite merry.
Dupe!
Nah, nobody's penix is capable of handling hordes of computer geeks.
PSHAW, jr would whip through ya'll like Neo vs. so many Agent Smiths.
Maybe one day we will actually be able to rely on the local weather forcasts!
Why? They seem to be reasonably accurate these days. I have a kernel module that uses them as a random number generator.
They slashdotted my penix!
You must have low throughput.
or maybe the webserver is 300 baud
I was quoting the story. How can you say it "isn't for us" ?
+1 insightful my ass
No, the reporter was just desperate for a story.
