WELL DO I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

You can create a new character on the login screen and do exactly that!

On a serious note, the new game+ they've implemented is similar in concept as a new game+ where you keep all your levels/gear/etc that many other games feature. If you were wanting a full wipe new game+ then you can create a new character to do that as a substitute, but the new game+ they've put in is simply for people to re-enjoy the story with and replay certain instances they love. I know many friends who will be using this feature to go back to instances like the Nadaam, The major solo battles throughout SB and the like. It'll be a feature many story lovers will use, just as there'll be many people who will ignore it.

I will personally be using it, since it means I don't have to re-level characters to experience certain parts of the story again.

The inn doesn't let you view everything and experience any of the solo instances, nor does it let you speak to all the NPCs along the story objectives that have a lot of flavor dialogue and thoughts on certain situations that helps to bring the story even more alive.
It also doesn't let you visit some cinematic areas you're sent through in the story, like the area right before you engage the trial of 3.3. For story lovers, new game+ will be an immensely useful feature.
