Blizz always has great ideas and then falls flat in execution. I say this as a WoW player. It's ok. If they can pull off these ideas, which they absolutely have not proven, then this could be good. I remain skeptical.

“Fail in execution”

oldest most profitable mmorpg on the market

You have a point, but I think WoW succeeds in spite of itself. They promise big things then deliver a fraction. It never lives up to the hype, IMO. I think it's that there's nothing better, and if there was, it'd have to be a LOT better because of sunk cost fallacy. 80% of the reason I play WoW is because I have always played WoW. I like my stuff and friends there.

Definitely not the oldest, FFXI and EQ are still alive and getting updates, and Anarchy Online is in maintenance mode because it's presumably still turning a profit for Funcom.
