Wire graphics, I don't care. Give me the world to play with.

there are text based mmos still out there where everyone in the same world. maybe you should try those out, see how popular they are [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
EQ wasn't the first mmo neither, but it was the first one to use best 3D graphics possible for MMO to support hundreds of models.
Thats why it killed all the previous text mmos and Ultima

In the same way WoW brought this to a next level they gave you more bang for your buck, allowing people with older PC play a modern game (compare to EQ2 that still lags at max setting on modern PCs today).

Visual and ease of access are what brings people in (specially today).
Of course its the content that makes them stay, but its always starts with visuals.
