And if we compare the power of computers in 1997 to 2010 it would be like comparing simple addition to quantum physics.
That said, no one should under-estimate the insanely difficult task of coding a MMO. From all reports I've read from developers of many games in addition to third party programmers, coding a mmo is a beast.
It's natural and even fair to compare games to each other. It just seems to me that MO has enough of its own issues to improve upon and enough to enjoy for a number of those playing that comparison type threads tend to mislead, invite trolling, insulting, baiting and flaming more than it does promoting or simply discussing MO.
IMO fans of MO should expect to gain subscribers based upon what they find is fun and/or promising in MO, not because they find X game to be crap, or MO to have A, B & C that UO had too. You can see in multiple threads where that type of discussion leads and frankly the result isn't very flattering to the game this forum is produced by.
