I've notice that the best systems out there still chug along in WoW lately. I think it's mostly due to Blizzard pushing content out that is either a) incomplete, or b) bugged to hell and back. Look at Dalaran, it's been a mess since it Wrath came out.

As Zirb points out, HDDs are the issue with MMORPGs. Reason being is there is such a large amount of data needed to load the tons of textures everyone has for their avatars, there's no way to pre load all of that info. Its the seek/read time that's killing performance. The only thing you're really going to be able to do is throw money at this or accept it. You already have a raid 0 setup, but the HDDs are a little older. You can get newer 500gb/platter drives or an SSD. Kind of ironic putting SSDs in a Redundant Array of INEXPENSIVE Drives.

You're performance is actually pretty good for having platter drives.
