I don't see the connection. Yes, muds and D&D involve social interaction
normally--but since when does social interaction require role-playing?

For me, some of the fun would be ruined when you started off with "what
ho"... I prefer to be able to socialize directly with the other players.
That seems to be extremely common.

And why does this happen? Because most people don't roleplay. I believe
that, in turn, stems from the fact that they simply don't find it fun.
I can't speak for why that is for them, but for me it's because playing
a character means I don't make friends with the other players--to do so
would be acting in an OOC manner.
> There is no BENEFIT to roleplay except that it is FUN. And when nobody
And here we have a key problem. Getting back to the subject of player
punishment, a role-play based solution only works if either [1] people
are cooperating and you never had a problem to begin with or [2] you
fall back to a brute force "behave or I delete you" system. Roleplay has
no benefits normally for people who don't enjoy it, and few seem to
enjoy it.
