I don't mean both in the same game, although anything is possible. I mean some games should probably go the route of letting people play together more like tabletop. NWN, DoS, etc, some have had a go. Makes sense for someone to focus on that for people who like it. I'm more interested in the other kind though. Kind of interested, I was super interested until it dawned on me I will be long dead before games get even 1% of where I imagined they would be as a kid.
