Do you remember when World of Warcraft was released? I do. I had been playing RuneScape for a couple of years and was pretty content with chopping trees and making bread. In fact, I thought RuneScape was the best thing since sliced bread. Around the time Warcraft hit shelves something strange began to happen to my little browser game. My co-players slowly began to appear less and less. My friends list became derelict in just a few weeks and I was left to kill Lesser Demons alone. Why? They had all moved onto what would become the biggest game in the world. World of Warcraft had begun its uprising. Five years and two expansion packs later, it has left most other MMORPGs bruised, battered and beaten. And my friends list is still just as empty.
