Wow had better sub numbers because it had the same exact dopamine addiction loop that EQ has but they just dumbed down the mechanics so little kids and middle aged+ people could pick it up and easily progress.

Not to mention better production value, colorful and appealing artistic aesthetic, excellent musical score, more capital, more production resources, better advertisement, engaging gameplay and it doesn't kill you and make you go on a corpse run in the first 5 minutes of playing. What else did I miss?

WoW -retained- better sub numbers because people paying for the game wanted to experience the content at their own pace, which instancing most / all raid content allowed and why EQ moved toward that as time passed.
