Q: What quality does the MMORPG have to draw and hold such a dedicated and fanatical player base? What sets the genre apart from others?
A: Persistence. The more persistent a world is, the more its draw on people. Look at UO and its player housing, or EQ and its incredibly long term character building process - no matter what you say about either game, they do a great job of drawing you in and keeping you there. I know - I played both games for years, and a game's life span for me is usually a few days at most.
