1. Yes there is a monthly fee for subscription. Usually between $10-15 US. This pays for Hardware maintenance, bug fixes, In game customer support, new storyline development (i.e. development of new quests etc within the existing game). There are quite a few more places where the monthly fees go but these are a few of the more important one.
2. There is more accountability for your actions in this type of game that there was within bnet. If you make an ass of yourself in a MMPORPG you will develop a reputation and things can get ugly as it spreads across the server. I have seen people black balled from guilds and servers for bad behavior ;-)
3. No cheats, dupes or hacks....if you get caught your account is locked or in cases of extreme situations deleted. Since this is a moderated game unlike bnet the Game moderators arent gonna put up with anyone monkeying with their code ;-)
4. In all the other MMPORPG's I have ever been in the High level end game will most likely require cooperation by many players to attack and defeat the boss mobs at higher levels...so see #2 ;-)
5. The world is dynamic and dependent upon player interactions. You will "grow up" with players around your level and the game is more about a "community" than it is about soloing. This may be different in WoW than it was in other games of this genre but no matter how easy it was to solo at lower levels once you get up to a certain plateau you will pretty much be required to group in order to succeed at anything...quests, monster encounters, etc...
This is all speculation. WoW may prove me wrong BUT I cannot see a game of this magnitude and scope being succesful without taking least some of these to heart.
I am excited to see Blizzard venture into this realm.....see you all online ;-)

another thing, if you want to be good at the game put in ALOT OF DAMN TIME. play constantly, if you dont you will not get very good at it. same thing goes for d2. Hopefully this game will be alot less boring than d2 was.

They are acctually discussing making a solo console game out of it, where you just go on quests. It sounds a little idiotic to me but they were discussing it during blizzards open chat one night
