I think it's exactly the other way around: if you are going to do it exactly the way WoW does it - then you fail! Why should someone want to play a copy of WoW? I rather go play the original right away instead of just another copycat.

Look at Warhammer, Age of Conan and all the other near 1:1 rip offs. They failed because they tried to hard to be like WoW.

It's the other way around. You have to go your own way, build something different than WoW to be successfull.

Bioware burnt more than 300 mio. Dollars (insane!) so far on their mmo. There is no way they will be able to get that back (or even make any profit) just by presenting yawc (yet another Wow clone).
