The issue is MMORPG's arent the "thing" anymore. MOBA's, FPS's are more popular and are more geared to the younger twitchy/ADHD generation. You will never get another MMORPG that will be the size of EQ or WoW during it peak.Even though i only played EQ for 13 years as i got older putting in the time to do it was not worth it. And companies are in this business to make money.

Kind of true, but keep hope.
Look at say, Elite: Dangerous. There's a genre that everyone thought was dead. Crowd-funding comes along, Braben presents a vision of something, people who are interested in that thing directly make it happen.
If someone comes along with a business model that can sustain an old-school game like EQ, it will succeed.
It's worked for Space Sims, why can't it work for proper MMO's?
