I think it depends on how they do their microtransactions ...
I don't really understand it fully myself, but webkinz are amazingly popular with young children and when you buy a webkinz product it translates into something in the game world. While it is a little geeky, you could take a similar approach with a MMO game and sell small ornaments (sort of like Game Workshop's Warhammer stuff) that attaches to something in game ... While someone might not be willing to spend $10 to gain access to a new realm (or whatnot) in a game, many people would be willing to spend $10 to $20 on an ornament to get access to that realm instead.
