They start a fresh server with no transfers for at least 6 months. How about you?

i'd go back if i had no memory of playing WoW cause then it would seem new to me. lol
I'd go back if I could get in touch with all the people I had a great time with playing the game that I've lost touch with over the years.
They balanced the classes, brought nerfs within industry norms instead of including them in every patch, and stopped changing the skill trees every 20 minutes.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
I don't have to "go back" to wow because I am playing it everyday now.
It would have to change to much for me to go back.
Fresh servers don't really have that big of an effect in WoW.
The reason being is that you could have all the gold in the world, but it doesn't really effect other players. Also, there isn't that much of an advantage for having a lot of gold.
A game like SWG though with a new server, I might try even with the current shit storm setup, because a game like that it would have a massive effect.
To answer your question though, no I can't see myself ever going back to WoW.
I would go back to WoW if:
That said, at the moment, I wouldn't go back even if they made the game free to play. In all honesty, there's MUCH better F2P games out there than WoW, all things considered, let alone P2P games that are actually worth what you pay for them.
Not sure what it would take to get me back. At the very least not make the game all about a gear grind and without raiding being the be all end all.
They should...
-remove dungeon finder tool
-reduce gear quality you can get by doing heroics
-make heroics more difficult
-not nerf raid bosses so quickly
-make professions more difficult to level up
-add craftables that serve a purpose in having a profession
-make Northrend and Outland mobs more difficult
-revert all nerfs to low level dungeons and make them a bit harder
-remove BoA gear
-remove RaF
-significantly raise honor gained from world PvP
-add world PvP hotspots
-remove flying mounts
-create more than one boss, that is very difficult to down, per raid
-reduce gear scaling
-significantly reduce gold inflation
...if they want me back. Oddly enough, most are matter of changing few number a bit or just removing added features.
Waiting on Xsyon & betaing stuff
Don't they already do exactly what the OP wants? They've started fresh servers all the time throughout WOW's lifespan, and I'm almost certain there are limitations on transfers to these new servers (there used to be.) Maybe less new servrs open now than before, but they probably still do it occasionally.

far less gear dependent
after the cap gear becomes side-grade rather than upgrade
hugging and carrying
i want to hug and carry the cute little gnomes around and let them sit on my shoulder
lotro and i think eq2 style "appearance" gear slots that you wear gear for appearance while deriving stats from your actual stat gear (separately slotted) that is unseen while the cosmetic costume gear is worn
i think aion has a similar function that allows you to transfer stats from one item to the looks of another so you can dress how you like while keeping stats appropriate for you level
they do all this ill play wow til it dies
Guild Wars 2 is my religion
If they upgrade their graphics.
I mean I have nothing against the cartoonish, however the whole engine is too outdated !!! make it more sharp and shiny !!
I would go back to WOW if ...
If there are new race & classes yeah, i think if they do that could call be back xD

Apparently most people here just don't have the talent to help design games. Everyone can post of course, that's the internet.
Sigh.
Perhaps a little tip: try to have fun and level with a new character (or even an alt) and reach the end game requirements in a very fun and challeging way. So you would know why the cross server LFG tool and heroic epics are there.
Hint: it has something to do with countering the solo grind and old boring attunements of the old days. Like being exalted to even start a Raid or dungeon (for .... every character you wanted to experience), how much stupid time sinks were that anyway.
Gear from heroics is not end game, no matter what color they are.
Want a real mmorpg? Play WOW with experience turned off mode and be Pve_Pvp King at any level without a rat race.
All 6 reasons above can be countered by .... playing it with present day tool: level by experience turned off.
Nice tool that makes you King whatever the level you are in for ... endless gaming without the need to end game raiding.
Tell me about the blue ... and then let's talk 1.23 billion dollars yearly revenu coming from players who "obviously" disagree. Those 1.23 billion dollars will help "polishment" in future Blizzard games. Polishment in which - probably - you can only dream off in your hyped up - soon to be playable - games.

my idea was to bring back world raid dragon pvpve but since this would end up in a lagfest
lets do a new version an instanced raid dragon pvpve say with a max player cap of 500 per side with a map small enough to actually have fun play with high factor,los factor,hill,stair etc wintergrasp is a nice idea but its too big they could have made it half the size it is right now and it probably would be still to big.since it was made for way bigger fight and ended up nerfed to 350
its just another flop.
instanced raid dragon with both side that can join on the map till there is 1000 player total would bring me back!
can you name these F2P games that are better than WoW and back it up with something that is not your 'opinion'?
also, I agree with the person who mentioned that 'apperance overide gear slots' would rock in WoW.
the short time i played EQ2 (4 months) i had a blast with that feature. i didnt even change things much. i would find an outfit that i felt fit my toon and roll with it. i was surprised how satisfied i stayed with my apperance, and yes, it did loads in keeping the game immersive. I can only imagine playing WoW and being able to make my rogue look like an actual rogue/ninja rather than wearing some loud, sci-fi type crap that no reasonable person would wear when trying to be 'stealthy'. i bet half the WoW population (more) would start grinding old raids just to get the gear for apperance. it would be an awesome feature that WoW would please many people with. me and my wife included.
and to add onto the OP's sentance....
i always go back to WoW. just need enough time off in-between binges.
1. Reintroduced the original alterac valley
2. Made me able to play reckbomb paladin again
3. Reduced the level limit back to lvl 60
4. Made crafted items some of the best items in the game
5. removed death knight class
6. removed paladin from horde and shaman from ally
7. Reintroduced the rank 14 system
I never left WOW. I think the longest break from the game was 15 days. And what surprises me every time after such a break is :
... the bright wondeful colors in which the game is played. Incredible how inviting those colors are.
However in Cata I await for:
- the return of the PvP titles.
- the Battleground competition and return of the ranking system.
- more world PvP options (a better Lake Wintergrasp).
- standarised Badge system.
- more promotion of the experience turned off tool (perhaps free instead of paying 10G and no one finds that rogue in SW).
- scaled mobs modes.

It's borderline pathetic that you have to respond to anyone disagreeing with the playstyle as if it's insulting you personally, even though nothing particularly negative was said.
It's a game; cool that you enjoy it but some don't care for it obviously.
And lol @ the revenue talk. If that mattered Blizzard would actually produce regular monthly updates instead of filtering that money into other projects. Hell, Asheron's Call has been doing that for years with a fraction of the money.
I will never go back.
When I leave a game I am done.

You read my mind, I think removing flying mounts will my #1 though.
But regardless I will be back for cataclysm.
Some of the things on your list would make me quit.

Flying mounts are awesome. So sorry you do not like them. But I love my dragon mount and am so glad I ahve him to fly around on. ;P
camp11111, dungeon finder tool was the last draw for me. I've noticed that almost every time someone mentions removal of dungeon finder tool on any forum, there's heated discussion between people who want it removed and who don't. There's gamers with different kind of preferences, you know. I may be part of the minority, but it doesn't mean my opinion isn't equal with yours. It's not like I'm demanding the game to change for me. I'm just saying that this thing would need to change if I were to come back, which is of course hypothetical statement as I'm not coming back.
