Well if there was a debate as to whether people would have played their game without the Everquest nostalgia factor this should settle it.

That's really my big thing.... I'm curious how much of their audience really just liked revisiting Norrath in this way and how much of this playstyle of was realized and determined to be enjoyable enough to make the world irrelevant. Honestly, after going through a few places multiple times, it became more about the theorycrafting than the world. Yeah, I always enjoy a dose of EQ nostalgia but I could see me enjoying the game especially if it has enough nods to EQ. I'm not saying this game will be hugely successful but as you said, we'll get to see if THJ was a good enough advertisement for this approach to carry it into its own game or if it scratched the EQ itch. I will say, I did interact with several folks that were playing because someone told them about it and they had little to no experience with playing EQ itself but I don't that's a large number.

They have the benefit of the doubt from me at least. Nostalgia could only take you so far. I would have had a fun time running around on daybreak's version of everquest for a few hours to visit some classic zones but then my interest would have faded because it's just not a fun version of the game. THJ got me hooked to the point where I was running 3 different characters thru all the end game stuff daily. It really was a blast. So at least I know they understand how to make something fun.

Now can they build it from the ground up instead of just modifying someone else's game? I guess we'll see. I am definitely excited to see what happens here though.

Why do you believe the concept of a shared persistent world is predicated on having to be a nuthugger just to do anything meaningful in it?

What is the point of having an MMO if you aren't actively engaged with the userbase? May as well just play a hub-centric online RPG if that's the case.
To answer your stupid question, I believe it's because you shouldn't call yourself an MMORPG if you don't fit into the traditional sense of the word. Otherwise you're just false advertising.
