Before anyone gets too far along the road of "this is why WoW got so
big", I'd like to point out City of Heroes did all of these things way
before. Solo-play is perfectly possible, quick five-to-ten minute play
sessions, etc.
So I suspect the reason for WoW success isn't anything to do with the
"heretical" idea of solo play and quick missions.
