I deliberately missed it. When someone first described WoW to me, my conclusion was "this is basically a MUD with graphics" and decided it would be too much of a time sink. I had seen people sitting behind university terminals playing MUDs for days and while I do enjoy adventure games, the grinding didn't look appealing at all.

I deliberately missed it, because I didn't like the subscription model. A friend who was thoroughly into it gave me an introductory free trial code or somesuch, despite my protesting "I'll vever play it after the free period, give it to someone who'll appreciate it".

MUDs were awesome. So many people couldn't tell you were even playing a game. Just sit in the labs for hours wandering around. Does wonders for the memory.
I played Discworld MUD for years. I have no time these days, but the fond memories still surface from time to time.
