Give it AC2's graphics engine (or better, but AC2s would do), leave the gameplay intact (perhaps implement better mouse+KB control) and I'd be back in a flash. :) Asheron’s Call 1.

Customisation is important to me in terms of roleplay and WoW is lacking in that department at the moment. Definitely with you on that.

As I'm getting older I wish I could make my belf looked more aged. Although its not a mmorpg my biggest ever game makeover wish would be to have a GTA Vice City redux. Tommy Vercetti in a 1080p Hawaiian shirt with the beautiful sunsets and Sister Christian blasting on the radio would make this gal very very happy. I would like more facial customization in WoW.

I think it's just a natural part of the evolution of the game to keep it feeling fresh and modern.

EQ2 is a tricky one... they talked before about overhauling the character models in order to make designing new armor easier but AFAIK they never did it. EQ2 could definitely use some more appearance variety IMO plus a general engine overhaul to allow it to run well on top end PCs.

The original zones will be getting an overhaul with Cataclysm I'm sure but the character models could really do with one too. I think a WoW overhaul would only need to be quite minor and subtle.

At least EQ has race specific armour which I always quite liked but it could certainly do with better and more varied armor graphics. It's so funny thinking that there's only 1 appearance for each type of armour isn't it? :) Definitely.

Dunno why, but I really liked that place, and I really miss my Tumerok! Dunno if this would count, but I’d like to see Turbine bring back the AC2 world with LOTRO mechanics.

Possibly beyond a graphic overhaul to a new version, Ultima Online 1.5. I find its current look horrible and it's the main thing that has put me off trying it.
