I disagree. We are competing directly with games like WoW. On the week that WoW came out (and this is probably true for all MUDs) I can track an instant decrease in our online play times for all our games. Without a doubt I attribute it 100% to WoW.

I think we are competing with McDonalds online as well. Luckily however, they have nothing of worth to keep people on their site, instead of ours.

Basically, we compete with any form of entertainment that keeps people from our games. When people have some free time and are wondering what to do, we want them to think, 'Hey, I want to become addicted to an online game', opposed to 'Hey, I think I will go to a movie, or play a board game.'
