Roguelike MMORPG Action/Adventure Hack n' slash game?

I've been mulling over the concept of taking Diablo II style gameplay, mixing more RPG elements with vastly dynamic character molding and creation, putting it in a massively multiplayer online setting, and then throwing in some console style hack n' slash to elevate the fun level. Now, my question is this: is trying to mix these genres a good idea? And is explaining it in one sentence full of abstract generalizations any better ;P? Think Diablo II + World of Warcraft + (Something new with maleable characters) + Devil May Cry 3 + massively multiplayer online, with one huge persistent world. Would that work? EDIT - Just realized that the "-" before "massively multiplayer online" could be misconstrued. + for the win.
