There Is Nothing Wrong With Playing Dungeons And Dragons.
I don't care whether its the table top, online, or whatever the inception may be, I'm tired of people looking down on me for having played the game before. I don't really play DnD anymore (don't have much free time nowadays), but there is nothing wrong with playing such games. Any MMORPG where you create and customize a character, allocate points to attributes and skills, and immerse yourself in a different world is pretty close to the same thing anyway, which is most MMORPG's.

With the paper and book version you have to do math and use you imagination in order to experience the value of the game and this can inprove your intellegence for that reason alone it is not bad.

Of course not. There's nothing wrong with playing any game as long as no one gets hurt.

People don't really value imagination anymore it seems. I love role playing games, personally.

There's nothing whatsoever wrong with playing D&D or any other roleplaying game, they help with concentration and focus the imagination.

I will disagree though, MMOs have little to do with pen-and-paper RPGs, they come from the Final Fantasy school where you follow a predefined path to a predefined goal. They are no more about roleplaying a character than playing Halo is about roleplaying Master Chief.

When my baby brother was a kid they had just come out with the game. It was maybe a 20 page pamphlet. He and some of his friends have been playing it ever since. He is a good man and father of three. He seems unharmed by the whole affair, though with all love I must admit he’s a bit of a nerd. Of course these days nerd is almost a social selling point. Do they still call them nerds? Or do they just call them rich?
