I agree with what you say about WoW being more of a social network than a game. That's why I don't play WoW.

But there is no way you can tell me that FFXI didn't lose the bulk of its subscribers in 2006 when WoW was released. When Abyssea was released the general consensus of the greater MMORPG-playing community was, "People still play FFXI?"
