Comparing automobiles from different eras is ridiculous; that's like
comparing WoW to Habbo Hotel (or Ultima Online, if you want something
slightly more advanced). Instead, ask how different your Prius is from
the prior and next years' Prius in that model line. That's the point
we've reached with MMOs. Maybe you prefer one model over another; but
within that model line, there isn't as much variation as we'd like to
think.
