Do you honestly believe any of that would give Mortal 2 mass appeal? You understand that for a MMO to exist, for it to survive it does need mass appeal. There is no compromising here, It is actually in the name itself; "Mass"ively Multiplayer online game.
You need to focus on the basics first. Don't waste your time chasing dragons. You need to get the average solo player winning in this game or closer to a state of winning. We can't keep ignoring why Mortal 2 is unpopular; it's not dragons, it's not poisons, it's not thieving and if we keep lying to ourselves we won't be doing us any favors.
