I play F2P games and delete them, many many games.
  Wow gets played simply because it is still there and a predictable way 
to waste a week with frenetic activity, sometimes. Most of the activity 
is actually predictable, AH make-lotsa-loot or grinding.

Funnily enough the ones I remember best are Runes of Magic and Earth 
Eternal. Poorly administered, EE folded RM was run by people who seemed 
to have some sort of mental issues , frustrating, complex, buggy and 
unfinished.
  Honestly they were rubbish, EE had great support and community, RM was 
just frustrating with very very very poor support.
But more memorable even years later. Mostly because they were kinda hard 
and required concentration and effort. Oh, and in them I managed to rise 
to godlike heroic level , a modestly large virtual fish in a very small 
pond with shared adversity.
Mythic-for-a-day-then-on-a-treadmill-again isn't so memorable, mythic 
then having the world destroyed cements the post traumatic memories :-)
