I think that this might be the smartest thing that they are doing. I don't know if it will work for me, because having a bunch of level 70s and 80s, this means that their entire play style and experience is being changed pretty dramatically.

But the game is five years old, and the old world is generally abandoned. It's just a stepping stone on your way to getting to 80 as soon as you can. That makes it more difficult for new players and people trying the game out. Rebuilding the game from the ground up makes it a new experience for veteran players, as well as making it accessible and populated for newbies. It also lets them take all of the lessons they've learned from day one and apply it without having to wait for WOW 2.

I'm a bit concerned about how this will change the gaming experience for my high-level characters, but I'm also pretty excited about leveling up new characters again.
