Blurring the lines in a way that readers of [livejournal.com profile] metahacker's We Were Gods (along with folks who play MMOs in general) might appreciate: Starting a Priest: Levels 1-4

This story is much more directly analogous to computer RPGs (specific responses to questions asked by NPCs, quests divided by region), with elements that are pretty specific to MMOs (factions and faction-based drops, particularly the part where one faction is made up at least partially of other PCs rather than NPCs thus implying multiple players). But computer RPGs (MMOs and otherwise) are based on the dice & paper games so it's not foreign to folks who have only done it with real people ;P.
