Just for fun what do you guys come up with? combine some features from a couple of games to make your ultimate MMO.
For myself it would be Asherons Call skill/magic/archery system plus Age of Conans Melee combat. A magic projectile system that is skill based with a physics engine that allows you to dodge incoming magic/arrow damage but it is still tab target ( made in 1999 btw ) combine with conans skill based melee system would be awesome.

Honestly, right now you need new ideas instead of just taking old stuff. People have been trying to remake Wow, EQ, DaoC and even UO several times and it never works. Just mixing 2 existing games ain't enough either.
Borrowing some ideas from here and there might not be bad but the genre needs games that doesn't feel like you already played them after an hour.
Now, if you mixed an existing MMO with something different (FPS game have already been done though), like a none D&D pen and paper RPG, that have far more potential. Pe and paper RPGs tend to have pretty well thought out mechanics that mostly never been used in MMOs (again, besides D&D and it's copies), there you have a lot of good ideas never before been used in a MMO which would give the players a very different experience than they had before (which is a key element).
At best mixing 2 MMOs you could get a game slightly better than the 2 games you ripped off but more likely you would get it worse.
It is still better than copying a single game.
Sorry i cannot accept features from 2 games. I accept at least 3 games.
