DnD is going to need some major modifications to work in the world of MMORPGS, as it has two very serious problems.
1. Casters, past a certain level (10ish) might as well be gods.
2. Everyone else can only be slightly better than mediocer, no matter what level they gain.
In DnD terms, being really totally awesome means you usually do +2 damage and have +2ish to hit. Not to mention that while your ability to take damage can get exponentially better, your average melee character's ability to deal damage wont even increase two fold by the time he's level 20.
I think it's going to be interesting to see how they translate DnD into a MMORPG. My guess is that its going to be nothing like the actual PnP game.

To further clarify:
A melee character at level 1 in DnD can start with around 10hp. At level 20 he can have around 200 hp.
That same character at level 1 may do 1d10 damage and have +2 additional damage from str. At lvel 20, assuming he has a super great weapon, he might do 1d10 +4(str bonus) +5(magic damage) +1d6(elemental magic damage). He will be able to swing four times in one round, but two of those swing have such a slight chance of actually making contact with anything that he's fighting that they might as well not exist.

You suck at DnD if you think casters are overpowered compared to melee past level 10...

Dnd? Here's how it used to be.
Mage: d4 hp, nobody gives a shit until you get to 5 and have fireball/lightning bolt
Warrior: d10, gimme all the magic items since I'm in the front.
When 3.0 came around, that changed. Mages got better spells (from more resources) and became more powerful. They added a few more mediocre damage spells to tide them off until 3rd level spells. Later, you could morph into a stone giant and fly around all day wielding a great sword and raping things. They've sinced nerfed the duration of certain spells because of things like that.

Yeah Stoneskin and Mage Armor got nerfed hard. At least in 3rd Edition you get some incentive to play a human.
