In my own personal opinion I think the New Jedi Order books would be a wonderful setting for a new Star Wars MMO. You've still got recognizable characters from the original movies yet there is a lot more wiggle room in terms of what you could with that IP.
Yes, even though it may seem like WoW is "real time" you're just seeing the results of what is basically die rolls and modifiers. Everything is based on stats and there is a back and forth of attacking and being attacked. It isn't very dissimilar to an RPG where you're taking turns.
This would take the rare kind of writer/gamer who can play an MMO for a specific amount of time and then pry themselves away from said MMO to write articles of meaning and worth.
