I can't help but compare other mmorpgs to wow, it being the first one i played. I'm able to view and play all games with an open mind but I can imagine its very easy to rubbish a game simply because it doesnt fit in with what you are used to very true what you say about people comparing subsequent games they play to their first mmorpg.

After that I played just about every MMO that came out. One thing I've noticed is that early games like Ultima Online & EverQuest punished players harshly for making a mistake & dieing. Death penalties have all but disappeared in most newer MMOs. While this may seem like a good thing, in my opinion it takes away much of the thrill of playing. If there's no downside to screwing up then there's also little feeling of accomplishment when you don't.

This is a nice read though but it sort of points out a fault I find in many MMO players in the form of the nostalgia goggles. Many MMO players will always compare games to whatever it was they played first and always disparagingly it seems. The "community" is also vastly underplayed in analysis as well. Those are two big reasons I think WoW is the MMO giant right now. It is the first game for most MMO players out there and it has the highest player base and as a result the most active community. (well if you want to call it that .....) Sadly there isn't much new MMO's can do to fight that.

It's hard to believe that in over a decade, nothing has really trumped it. I started with UO, became very picky after that, and really only settled on WoW, after dabbling in a bunch of them.
