I think that in order to make AO a little bit more fun you should have monster invasions except for the newbie areas. I think that would be a lot of fun. Ultima had that and it was the only good thing ever in that game. Since there are a lot more mature players in UO maybe you should have different level monsters attack different towns. Or at least have them outside the gates and disable guards. I think this would make game play for both the role players as well as non role players. Well that just my tidbit. I think it is at least worth a try.
