Where did WoW go right?

The problem with that is you're trying to compare sub rates when the games were practically in a different era. If EQ jumped out in 2004 when the market was ripe for the picking we'd have a whole different story.

also I have endgame experience (wotlk :3)

Umm WoW wouldn't exist without EQ. WoW took EQs model and built upon it to make a better game that appeals to a wider audience.

Edit: better is subjective, obviously, but if subscription rates are how we're measuring success, than WoW is better, hands down.
