They don't have a reincarnation system to incentivize high level chars to drop back to a low level and play through low/mid level zones, nor an anti-twink system, so that will devalue the content. I bet it will even change the direction of their design, and they will focus less on fleshing out a cohesive world, and instead cater to pushing out content for the max level players.
M&M either is lazy-dev'd or underbudgeted, the later is fine if a sub will eventually make it into a proper game. But lets face it, it's a pay to playtest game which honestly sucks. Technically the game isn't really more advanced than EQ and the content in EQ was even at launch vastly better than what M&M appears to.

I get that game devs back in the day had it rough but it's really disappointing how even forsaking advanced graphics and trying proven tech modern game studios can't seem to produce a finished game in time.

If M&M ignites sufficient support it may be a hit, there are good things there, but I just don't think interest will last but I hope to be wrong.
