I agree with both you guys, also having played MMO's since UO .

WoW upped the ante in presentation with a nice dose of innovation. But the core gameplay mechanics of an MMO are largely unchanged from an MMO 5 years ago.

I would have really been interested in seeing the Shadowbane model being applied to the Warcraft universe. Less individual hero type stuff/guild raids focused on NPC's and more player run castles/siege weapons/PvP type scenarios.

Yes I know about Battlegrounds - but it still does not sound like what I described above.
