What created gamers in the first place were the games you mentioned. Text games. ASCII games. MUDs that began to bring people together in a way that they'd never experienced. It wasn't the graphics.
There was a time when people preferred content over visuals. That may have changed for the bulk of humanity, but I was there, man. I was THERE. And we are still the greatest generation.

For someone who claims to have been THERE, you have a weird tendency to remember Diablo as an MMO when it most assuredly was not. Also, apparently Runescape is something other than a laughing stock?
Weird.
