I think the problem with roleplay is that it has the stigma of being "trammy".

I beleive the reason this game keeps players is because of the unique pvp system. The pvp is UO is better than the pvp in WoW, but barely in my opinion.

Unfortunately, if you were to compare WoW pvm with UO pvm then WoW would come out on top. Actually I think WoW pvm is FAR superior to UO pvm.

So anyway, My point is that more of the UO players are fel based pvpers who look at roleplay as being trammy.
