The first time I did a DMed event in an MMO was in GW2 and it was incredibly boring. I think it had something to do with the DM, however, because I've since done them in this game and really enjoyed them. I suppose it's a bit of a shame you can't actually see the amazing stuff going on around you but that's what our imaginations are for, right? It lets you be so much more creative and add a lot more depth to an event. Of course it's not everyone's cup of tea but yeah, I think with a good DM who keeps things flowing, text events can be loads of fun.
