I don't think WOW is really showing it's age. The game's cartoonish gaphics and excellent animation gives it staying power. What's going to hurt wow is that it's becoming extremely formulaic. I think only Blizzard is capable of creating a WOW-Killer.
TOR is probably going to be liked by a lot of people. I'm skeptical though. I don't think I'm going to like it. Dunno why, The camera and animation just doesn't look very good to me and I've found if developers can't do that right, they're unlikely to get other aspects of the game right. (By "right" I mean to my liking...)
Honestly, I don't know what I want from the next big MMO. I just want it to be fun, and easy to look at for LONG periods of time.
