Where did WoW go right?

This is very true. Sony did these servers wrong in all ways possible. It was always way too quick. I think WoWs structure would make better for it anyways. With instances it could be sped up slightly (still not to the degree of EQ prog servers) and still more people could be up to speed. I still even think if it followed the exact timeline of the original it would still be sucessful.

The biggest things they did wrong was not revert to classic melee models and leave in newbie armor quests. Newbie armor quests made all of the L30 Sol Ro gear inconsequential, you basically obtained a full set of gear by L15 and held it until planar. Also, melees were doing significantly more damage than was classic. Monks didn't use anything other than H2H until PoP was released, because their naked fists were just -better-.
