One of the things that has kept WoW popular over the years is that it will run on pretty much anything: Nvidia, ATI, hardware from 2002, hardware from 2011, Windows, Mac, Linux, several toasters, etc. On the flip side, high graphical requirements will keep the games out of the hands of many players who might be restricted to "the computer their family owns", and I've seen quite a few MMOs recently that take a huge hit graphically without returning enough performance when you crank settings down (RIFT says "hello").
