I picked up the 4th edition rulebooks, and I've got to say this: it isn't WoW. Or any MMO, for that matter. There are a lot of complaints to be made about the new edition - the absence of bards and druids from the initial release makes the top of my list, for example - but 'it's now like computer RPGs' is not one of them. You've inspired me to put up a longer post on my own account to talk about it; it's a little much for comment-length.
It *is* very different from 1-2-3E; so different that it's essentially a different game. But that game is really very little like computer RPGs and MMOGs aside from surface similarities.
