I agree, this game really was boring.  Grinding and Mining isnt fun

Well they are presenting this new expansion as it would be a whole new game.  UO is dieing and it has been dieing for a long time.  This expansion wont change much and the same old people will be playing it.

WoW does not need anymore classes.  The problem I forsee with adding classes to WoW is the EQ affect.  See, EQ has a bunch of cool classes and they are fun to play.  The problem is, having this many classes will make it harder for certain classes to get into groups.  For example if your champion class you talked about although it is neat but why would you want a hybrid class when you could get a full tank?  Anyways, if you play BC you would realize they now have 3 tanking classes.  Why would you want a hybrid?  What would happen is that a Champion class would be left out of groups and have to solo most things.  Sure, you would find groups here and there but would be easily replaced by a warrior, druid, or paladin. 

Personally I enjoy what wow did with their classes.  I love how you can spec a character to your style of playing but yet still be good at what the main idea of the class was amde for.  To me you cant beat it.  In EQ2 I could be a beserker or guardian.  On EQ2 you are stuck with your desicion from a low level which really sucks.  I love how WoW has done it to where you can change your mind no matter what.  Ok, back to my point.  Adding of new classes would be pointless and more work.  In all honesty would bring wow down more people crying we need more Champion abilities!!  So why add to something that really doesnt need any fixing? 

Well you cant say it any better than that.  If you have 6 real life people you should have the advantage.  That is why its an mmo.  Use RL people pay them wages whatever, but seems to me it would bring a more difficult state to the game and it wont be a grab your ship and pillage.  You would have real people to anwser to if you suck.

You already can fight along side your friends just in seperate ships. I dont like this idea because it will one way or another make the fights unbalanced. If a players side has all AI crew and the other has 6 real life players on his one ship it is hardly an even  fight. But to answer one of your questions, they are working on avatar combat while boarding.
