Mythic has said repeatedly they do not want to become the next WoW or view themselves as a WoW killer.
And to quickly summarize what Mark Jacobs is saying on his blog. WAR's success means alot to the MMO community. If it succeeds and pulls some good numbers (not WoW sized, but respectable), it will help continue to open the market to more MMO games. Otherwise, investors will be hesitant to dump money into an area that feels it can't compete in while Blizzard is in the race.
