I was addicted to cocaine, but I weened myself off of it with pot and booze. It's not as good, but it's cheaper.
I played WOW for around four years before dropping my addiction in order
to pursue real life
objectives for a change.
After trying a dozen or so free MMOs
, I became pretty enthralled with

No, because:
Not enough income to create a truly great game with tons of balancing mechanics and expansions and writers and back story and lore and classes...
Wow: You're killing Deathwing, the previous earthwarder dragon aspect, who was driven insane by possible old god influence, old gods being ancient gods that were put into prisons by Titans, who are not gods but capable of giving them a beating, who calmed the elemental spirits who are now going crazy again, who caused XXX effect which caused XXX effect. You are a DK/Drood/Warrior/Rouge/hunter/warlock/mage... All of which have incredible amounts of lore behind them, wielding different magics in different ways for different reasons. You are an Orc/Human/Troll... All with awesome amounts of lore. Orcs are peaceful tribes from another dimension driven insane by demon blood because dranie... Trolls are the old and vile version of elves, who have their own gods and beliefs...
Straight up, WoW has enough sub plots and lore possibilities to keep it going for hundreds of years...
Free MMO:
You are killing Firebreath, the big bad dragon who you must kill because he is a dragon which makes him obviously evil, and killed the father of XXX quest giver because he tried to kill said stereotyped dragon.
You are playing Mage/Warrior/Rouge. Mage has kwl magik. All magik is mage stuffz. Warrior haz big armr, Rog haz cool stabbity daggerz.
You are playing Human, and you are a great enemy of stereotype orcs, who you hate because they're ugly, obviously making them evil.
Edit: Did I mention, that as of patch 3.6 after Firebreath's death, his father (Never previously mentioned) gets !@#$ed off and flies into Firebreaths spot, with the exact same model, but bigger, the same tank'nspank encounter, but harder hitting, and more epic lewts?
Which do you prefer?
