Immersion in the story is just icing on the cake

Something that I noticed, when testing Shadows of Angmar, was how well the incorporated the story into the game. In WoW...it felt too much like I was just one of a few million people trying to do the same thing. In SoA, there was a central storyline that I could always focus on.

I'm not saying that WoW should do that, but there does seem to be a feeling of disassociation from the player and the rest of the game world that limits the immersion of the players in the world.
