That popularity brought MMOs to the spotlight, where WoW's vanilla market (log in for 15 minutes, have fun, log off) took over because EQ was still heavy in the "hard core" market. And WoW had a following from WC3/SC
The point still stands that WoW had a greater subscription rate than EQ did (this is probably true for any point in WoWs life), which is the point and why we're trying to have a discussion about where WoW went right (well I guess that was over a long time ago though).
