I think thisis the future of MMO !
It's just instance gameplay because it's real time.
I think like Guild Wars 1 : you can see other people on towns,
but when you go fighting on areas or dungeons you only go with your group !
I think static mmo will continue coming with good ideas etc ...
but real time action are the next generation i think, with games like Terra, Vindictus etc ..
Some good incoming example :

Only town management could be problematic, but not instance !
And idea could be to make a Non 3D town , perhaps similar to Left For Dead where you wait for players or where you could communicate or choose your group before going on a 4 or more player instance ?
But well, im' not mmo fan at all !
