Very interesting thread for an outsider like me.
Personally, I never liked the idea of playing a MMORPG. I play games because I want some escapism, because I want to be something I cannot be in real life. And not compete with a lot of other suckers about everything I want, and learn to live with them, like in real life.
The only thing that would fascinate me (and some close friends) is the idea to play a RPG cooperatively with a party 2-4 friends. Unfortunately there are no such games.
