I've mostly seen the opposite. The more players we get, the more hack'n'slash 
the game evolves into.

Having said that, I think RPGs are whatever you want them to be. There is no 
right or wrong way to roleplay. Monty Haul games are just as valid as deep, 
intense stories. As long as you're playing a role (controlling a persona 
within a game), you're roleplaying. The main thing is to have fun.
