Immersion is an interesting thing. A lot of MMO's that I've invested in have been full of people screaming about how 'immersion' isn't important and detracts from other aspects of the game. Yet that's not true at all, since MMO's can have both compelling PvE and PvP elements in addition to a solid and richly detailed game world.
