Unlimiting the Role-playing in D&D Online

Huh? What do you mean there are no roleplayers in DDO? You can't play Dungeons & Dragons without roleplaying, right? I mean, it's named after the game that spawned millions of RP components that can be found throughout the gaming world, online and offline! WTF?!
Even today, on the eve of DDO's four-year birthday, roleplayers still clamor and lament the depressing lack of RP aspects in game. To date, the only thing that looks like it was built into the game specifically for roleplayers is a Bio section. Granted, there are also locations and activities where roleplayers may assemble around, but that's about it. Quite an astounding and mind-boggling fact, made even more so when you realize the makers of DDO (Turbine) are also the makers of Lord of the Rings Online, which gets my vote for being the best MMORPG for roleplayers online today.
So, with DDO now gone the Free-to-Play route, what if you're one of the new gamers logging in looking for and expecting, as I did, that this is the game where RP is sure to be found, and being sadly disappointed? Well, there is RP to be found here, but finding it has proven to be most difficult.
