Why & how WoW succeeded, in my opinion: User Interface Customization using Lua. Also, I think WoW indirectly taught a lot of developers about Taint checking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taint_checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taint_checking ) - something I still feel extremely bitter about missing from Javascript, replacing it with "Signed Script Policy" in retrospective seems like a bad idea, to the point where people re-invented it after it got removed, but still no community maintained implementation exists: https://github.com/phvogt/NoMoXSS https://github.com/phvogt/NoMoXSS (The paper for this has 579+3 citations [+3 because there exists a separate citation network due to Google Scholar being, well, Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=4323801493645906635 https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=4323801493645906635]: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=9547351675563063950 https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=9547351675563063950. Yet I don't see this kind of feature in any mainline javascript implementation.) https://github.com/idkwim/jsTaint https://github.com/idkwim/jsTaint (Different project, it seems)
