I checked this game out last night. It looks pretty nice so far. There are definitely quite a few things that could use work, but nothing that looks to be impossible to get resolved.
If you can get a good team of coders to help develop the game mechanics and UI stuff, and also get the database to work with MySQL, I think this project could potentially turn out really nice. It looks to be at the point that EQEmu was a few years ago. I am sure that if it had the community that EQEmu does to help develop it, that it could be just as good or better than EQEmu.
I think hard work and patience will be the key to getting this game up to speed. The more things that get fixed/developed for it, the more interest you will peak. Eventually if you keep at it, I imagine that people will be flocking to help you out.
The engine looks really nice and seems to be very versatile. I checked on the page for the engine and it looks like quite a variety of games have been created with it. The graphics don't seem to be mindblowing, but I am sure they could easily be on par with what WoW currently has or maybe better. Seeing the examples of what other people have done with it, I can tell that it could certain by made into a really nice looking game all around.
I think an important part will be getting good development tools that your team can use that are preferably free. Once the tools are worked out, it will be a matter of filling up the database and developers working out issues or developing new features to improve gameplay.
As long as you stay dedicated to making this project a success, it looks like there is real potential with it.
