    Worthplaying has previewed Turbine's upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, looking into the subject of character creation, spellcasting and pen and paper rules representation, as well as the question why DDO is not an MMORPG. Here's a snip:

    When you begin the game, you’ll be able to create a character using the standard 3rd-edition D&D rules. You can make a human, elf, dwarf, or a halfling; also, for the first time, you can opt to create a warforged, living golems who were created as infantry for the Last War. You’ll also have nine of the eleven base D&D classes to choose from, with the exceptions of the monk and druid. (According to Turbine, they were deliberately excluded, since they didn’t have enough time to do those classes properly. It’s possible that they may be put into the game in a future update.) In keeping with Eberron’s themes, the alignment system -- lawful good, chaotic neutral, neutral stupid, misunderstood evil, whatever the hell it all is – has made the transition intact, but it’s not as important as it is in out-of-the-box D&D. Your alignment doesn’t matter as much here as it does there.
