Blizzard isn't a company known for its revolutionary game design, but they *are* known for taking an existing concept and doing it one better. As far as I'm concerned there hasn't been a single MMORPG yet created that requires an ounce of skill beyond the ability to resist chewing through one's own wrist in abject boredom.
Trust me when I say this: Blizzard could take the basic premise of EQ and make it work in a ways that Sony has never imagined. Blizzard knows gamers and Blizzard knows gameplay. If their track record holds true, WoW will be the best MMORPG on the market BAR NONE.
...(mutters) Just don't expect much from the PvP...
