World of Warcraft is arguably the most popular MMORPG in the planet. Of course, what else can you expect from one of the best games ever produced? Consider this: There are over 16 million MMORPG players in around the globe, 10 million of those are WoW players. That's over 66% of the world's online gamer population. If that doesn't prove how awesome World of Warcraft is, then I don't know what else can.

However, popularity can't always be a good thing for MMORPG's. Sure, you can be certain that you'll always have someone to talk to whenever you go online. But then again, with so many players, it's hard to get recognized and to reach the level of power and popularity you've dreamed of, especially when there's always someone rushing off to kill the monster you've been hoping to kill. Add that to the fact that you have other responsibilities in the 'real world', and you can be doomed to n00bdom for the rest of your WoW life.

And in the world of MMORPG's, you have to be either extremely powerful or extremely rich to be a 'somebody' in Azeroth. And in most cases, you have to be one in order to have the other and vice versa. Wealth precedes Power which precedes wealth, that's just the way of the world in WoW.
