I tend to believe that Wow success is actually due to attracting a lot of casual older folks ( by older I mean 27+) which tend to play less games and as a result tend to switch games less often, this is I belive the crowd that is the most stable in Wow and for which Blizzard actually has the least workd to do to keep it happy.

 

 

 You left out one of the features that I think helps it more with that crowd, and is I think partly behind the stability your talking about.  It has extremely moderate hardware requirements.  Just about any PC will play it.  This  helps with non-traditional PC gamers who are not going to update their PC all the time to play a game.

That's true, I raid hardcore every week with people that have 4-5 years old computers and that is about as intensive for computers as Wow can get and those people are fine..
