Im not sure if im the only one to notice this but look at these numbers from allakhazam.
FFXI WoW SWG DAOC EQ
Items 5570 7472 N/A 18953 28849
Quests 472 1794 472 1027 2739
Npc's 3003 6010 3337 7923 16380
Just think wow has that much more stuff and its only in beta compared to FFXi which has been around for 3 years.
Also as you can see WoW only loses in items to daoc and EQ the grandfathers of MMo's :P Its number 2 in quests and number 3 in Npcs which is very impressive since its still in beta.
