This already sort of exists in the form of Dragon's tale. However, the gameplay is basically centered around gambling, so it's not a traditional mmorpg.

Spells of Genesis appears to be the first game set to release with heavy Bitcoin integration and usage. If it is successful, it is very possible that other developers may give it a shot with a more complex game, which could ultimately lead to a full mmorpg using Bitcoin.

Yeah and if it will really click. Just like Ragnarok and other mmorpg games that really became famous that will have a really big bitcoin buyers. That will make bitcoin really high because of its popularity and demand.

I think there's an RO private server (low rate) that accepts bitcoin as donation ( you'll be rewarded some premium items if you are a donator). Check out their announcement thread here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161155.0

Another use case is that i use bitcoin to buy alt coins.
By this i make sure the price goes down and be sure to sell higher.
There is always a risk in the trading world but it's profitable.

Bitcoins as a currency has seen a tremendous development in the past years. It's no. Of users has increased by a large margin. People have different reasons for using bitcoins. Major ones are:
(1) They are waiting for hikes in btc prize, so that they can sell their btc and earn profit.
(2) They're doing faucets--  Lol , they pay not at all, but some people do use faucets in btc and earn some small amount.
(3) A few people even use it for buying and selling things. I, myself don't buy because it's used very less in India, but many others do.

I think so, but I don't know any online games that accept bitcoins other than LimitRO. Maybe its kinda rare right now but I think in the near future, gaming industry will approach bitcoin Cheesy

Even if you just hold it you are using it. I find great use in the fact that I can have my money outside of anyone's else hands but mine. There isn't anything like this on the planet where your wealth is only with you and will go only where you want it to go, at any time. This has invaluable worth for me and is a legitimate use within itself.
