Payne is correct about the situation as it is in practice.
Let me talk about the situation from a more subjective side than I did before ?
On an online world you meet players to interact with , but it is a rare chance to encounter someone who is at a compatible level and can manage the same time.
Banding together usually stays theory.
In practice it turns out to be the opposite of what rolegaming in a group was and the spirit of the times that brought it forth.
A rolegaming online world is great, because you can take a peek in when you have time and feel like it, but your group of players doesn't sit around you squeezing the sofas and chairs, munching stuff , drinking and laughing.
The feeling is that it was never meant to be a graveyard for pcs that get used up like one-way plastic bottles going into recycling so rolegaming doesn't get much of a chance.
The nintendo world has changed the perception of rolegaming, but they are quite different in character
Especially a first pc needs better chances to get acquainted with the dangers. A new player can't know that an ork, a bandit in the sewers , a slaver practically keel over when hit with a cotton-ball, while a thug in the street, a mephit or a glob of slime are owerpowering and can kill you even if you run fast.
