Will HJ be like Gemstone or DragonRealms?

There is no MMORPG game out there that even comes close to the Gemstone3 system and complexity I remember from the late 90's. This is how good Gemstone was, I can still draw out the map of elanthia-townsquare and the outergates from memory (when ppl had to take out pen/paper), this was 10yrs ago. Tell me to draw out maps of EQ/Ashercall and I totally forgot them, totally forgot. My point is Gemstone charachter creation and gameplay far exceeds any MMOrpg, but why??????? how could a MUD be superior in 'gameplay' than MMMORPG.
My question is will HJ have a similar feel to gemtone or dragonrealms? If it was even 50% as diverse as GS3 it will become the best mmorpg ever! Seriously all they have to do is to not create the wheel again, keep it exactly the same as GS or DR, and work on the engine/graphics.
GS4 was the the only game where I could roll a Wizard that was a Bow user. Seriously, my wizard was able to shoot an arrow every second (using magic), rangers were jealous because I was just as strong as them and still be able to cast MASS DEFENSE spells for the group. The other thing I loved and hope they implement into hero's journey is the charachter creation, I remember it would take me a full day to roll a perfect charachter (and this is using a spreadsheet). WorldOfWarcraft are for newbs because of this, there is no skill required to get to LvL60. In GS if you didnt decide what kinda of charachter you wanted (ie.. a Enchanting-wizard, Bow-Wizard, War-mage) to be from the start you were doomed.
OMG, did anyone ever play on Genie? do you remember the background music, that was cool, i heard they use it still on teh wizard-frontend.
Last point -- When this game goes into beta (sometime early next year) it's gona blow everyone's mind. It'll be the Halo3 equivelent to MMORPGS.
