You would have to develop your own universe with that in mind from the start, with compatible rules and everything.
Basically you would need to create something like GURPS, a generic roleplay system that has rules for supporting basically anything from medieval combat to magic combat to psychic combat to space combat. Then you could create "worlds" where one world was all magic MMORPG and another was like Planetside and then you could create some way for the two worlds to cross over and interact, because they're both using the same underlying rules and game engine (that is, the magic combat rules exist in the sci-fi world, they just aren't being used until someone from the magic world shows up. Similarly, FPS rules exist in the magic world, but the magic users aren't using them.)
So you could do a hub between your own games if you built them that way from the start.
You couldn't do a WOW <-> WAR hub without complete cooperation and a ton of work from both Blizzard and EA-Mythic.
(It would be easier to just translate your character, so that your WOW Warlock with purple epics becomes, I dunno, a WAR Magus with equivalent level gear.)
