A lot of the popularity at the time was due to the fact that gaming was starting to become mainstream, computers/graphic cards had dropped in price significantly, and affordable, reliable and decent internet connections we're available.
PoP was also around the time that other games were starting to take off. I think it had a lot more to do with society and gaming technology as a whole as opposed to anything SOE did to the genre at that time.
When I first got to college I used a 33k cellphone modem for a connection while my school was putting in a T1 line. Those were the days.
