It'll certainly be interesting to see.

Right now, I'd personally resist the change to the licensing + micro-transaction model. I feel like the micro-transaction system (server xfers, costume pieces, pets, etc) are just there to nickle and dime the players on top of software and licensing fees.

The WoW pets are a total rip off imo, but the worst micro-transaction is the server transfer fee. Put a cool down timer on the ability to move around. Being penalized for wanting to play with friends was an awful design decision. It's especially terrible in CoX where the game doesn't need independent servers since it's all instanced anyway.
