If they do it right, they could possibly make a ton of money while letting other people do nearly all of the creative work for them. I think it could be ground-breaking and really push MMOs into their first big jump of Next-Gen games since MMOs were first created. There are games out there that try similar ideas, but it isn't nearly on the level that I would have in mind (which would be similar to how EQEmu works).

That is the route they are hinting with EQ Next now. Though it has been scrapped and restarted from scratch at least once.
