When WoW was released, it was the spunky newbie, taking on the 900 lb Gorilla, known as Everquest. Hell, I bought collector's editions of BOTH games (WoW and EQ2) within what, 2 weeks of each other?

While I think there was a chunk of luck involved, I think there was a lot of skill involved, as well. They hit the right mix of comedy, seriousness, newbie-friendliness... not to mentioning being Blizzard releasing a Warcraft game... that had gone through different incarnations through the years before... (remember Warcraft Adventures?)

I think other games can compete... but Wow will have to get a little more tired than what it is, right now.
