MMORPG's should be just settings for play. If the setting is a good one, the players can use their imaginations (possibly thru roleplay) to take it wherever they like. For me, the true test of any game is how much fun it can be outside of the level grind. It is nice to be able to log into a game and know I can have fun no matter what I decide to do.
