Anyone else looking at Vanguard?

If they can recapture some of that, and make it more approachable to new players, they could easily rival WoW. However, they could also easily make the game unapproachable to anyone but the most hardcore. And then you'd have EQ1, again, which was a smashing success in it's day, but was certainly no World of Warcraft.

I'll have to agree that EQ (and AC) drew people into the game a lot more than WoW does for the most part. In looking through the info on the site, it seems like it'll be a much more hardcore-focused game than WoW. Although they want to allow anyone to play (every developer will claim that), I doubt it'll be great for the casual players.
