While all of what you had to say is most certainly interesting, the problem is, they are redesigning a game that already existing. The 2 most glaring issues with trying to do this are 1. The current population may die off completely as they, for whatever reason, like what the current rendition accomplished and 2. The fickle nature of the MMO community and it's adoption of new titles is already so strained, that a game that flopped is EXTREMELY unlikely to get a second chance in the eyes of a gamer.
There are just too many titles coming at a gamer these days to re-visit a broken title that has been fixed. There may well be some players that look on with anticipation to this release, but more likely it will be the players that have already invested their time into the game. Taking a look at attitude of player's posting responses to the Diablo 3 ( not an MMO I am I aware ) posts that TH likes to put up. Players will give devs time to fix some things, but if you go 3 - 4 months with glaring issues, the game attains a reputation for the flaws. Fixes or complete overhauls may come, but they won't see any surge of note in the new player department. Their money spent on development for these changes will come as a loss :-(
