Sorry dudes, WOW brought MMOs from something only basement dwellers played, to something casual and/or normal people play. It did the very opposite of kill MMORPGs.
But you will still be viewed as the former (or at least one with no social life) if you start talking about it in casual conversation. Gods help you if you even consider putting guild management as a skill on a resume. I've seen Final Fantasy panels that were loath to talk about it due to the fans, while jumping on the "remake past titles" bandwagon.
