I'm not really interested in any MMOs these days which all deemphasize player interaction and prioritize content completion. I'm sure it appeals to the widest audience and thus is the easiest way to pay the bills, but it also makes for a braindead experience.

I'm reservedly optimistic given the wow vets involved, but if they do stuff like:

• adding fast travel portals instead of reliance on player mages,
• random dungeon finder,
• random cross-realm interaction at the cost of fostering server communities,
• and otherwise make a single player experience where other players might happen to appear,

then It's not interesting to me. Also, I don't think being a retail wow clone will be enough to dethrone retail wow.
