I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that the game actually works... unlike AOC which, at this point, seems to be 6 months away from being in a state that anyone would want to play it. If publishers keep producing games that are in such unfinished states over and over, they are going to continue failing over and over. People say WOW had issues at launch, which it did, but nothing like the problems AOC, Vanguard, and EQ2 had at release. The problems AOC has are just absolutely ridiculous, and unforgivable.

Heh lovely propaganda Battlekruse. The only people that even suggest that it's '6+ months before it's even playable' are those that haven't even played it.

Game has some issues no doubt, but it's more complete then many MMOGs are at this point. And WoW didn't have major problems in it's first several months? Can I borrow your rose colored glasses please?

It is funny.  But I don't think it is that accurate, at least from any real reviewer's point of view.

First error of his review is he even says he only played from levels 1-30....you need 70 to actually experience descent pvp imo. I'll bet he didn't even get into a guild for pvp or grouping and i firmly believe that guilding is significantly needed in this game unlike WOW at least for levels 1-80.   

Second, he says that it tries to copy WOW.  I hate it when people say this because it makes no sense.  IF you play ball like that then WOW copied EQ with quests and user interface, and Halo copied Counter Strike so now Valve owes Bungie a lawsuit.  It just doesn't work like that. 

So for real now, WOW is copying AOC by having siege warfare battles? 

Saying that AOC copied WOW and making that a pit of an argument against AOC....what a cop out of an argument for why AOC sucks!

I'm not saying AOC is without flaws, in fact there are many i agree.  But giving real credit to zero for a logical review will have to be tossed up to the haters on this thread. 

It is funny to watch however. 

His review's are better than most, you disagreeing doesn't somehow make them not logical or him not a "real reviewer". I suggest you work on becoming literate before you try to throw such words around. If anything the fact that he's so negative and brutally honest is a plus, since in these days games are often a pile of fail that costs $60 dollars.

Also WoW did steal from MMOs before it, and every game since has stolen from WoW.
