World of Warcraft is truly a classic any way you slice it. It was my first MMORPG and at this point, it's still the best in my mind (even though I quit a while after The Burning Crusade and have retired for good).
My hope is that Blizzard will make something NEW... and not WoW 2; not saying they shouldn't make WoW 2 at some point... but for their second effort... I want to see some creativity and something completely different from WoW. They seem to be aiming for that which is good.
Seems like they said the MMORPG is not based on any of their existing IP's (Diablo, Warcraft, StarCraft, Lost Vikings) which is also something I've wanted to see out of Blizzard for a while... a completely new IP.
Also... ahem... IF and when Blizzard does make World of StarCraft... please use Tabula Rasa's combat system as inspiration... that would be.... AWESOME.
For me, the music is one of the most important parts of a game. It has the capability to make good games great and great games incredible. At the same time, a good game that has bad or below average music can certainly become a "meh" game quickly.
World of Warcraft is the standard for me as far as MMORPG music goes (at least through Burning Crusade; I don't play Wrath nor do I plan to... though there's no reason to think that Wrath doesn't sound great), but in my experience Tabula Rasa is a VERY close second. From how EVE's music is described, people who like that ought to find RGTR's music somewhere and give it a listen; a mix of heavy metal with techno/trance and electronic music? I think it fit the setting perfectly
