Hmmm, the epic poem Beowulf mentions orcs. 1313 AD or somewhere around there. Tolkein was a scholar of that stuff.
 


 

 

 Yes you are right, Orcs, Trolls, Elfs and Dwarven folks are not Tolkien´s creations, Tolkien´s versions of theses creatures are indeed famous, but I really dont understand why so many people still belives that all came from Lord of the Rings...

Saying a MMO is a rip off a MMO is like saying this thread is a rip off of yesterdays thread.

i mean, it has the same interface, same people, and still doesnt cost anything to look at. man... i wish they would stop ripping stuff off old threads. Or Halo 3 was such a rip off Halo 2, but since Halo 2 was a rip of Halo, Halo 3 is really a rip of Halo... same interface, combat, and story line!

what do you expect a mmo to do, have your hp off the sreen in a sub window you have to alt-tab to look at, have your skills look like bunnies, and you walk around the screen not with clicking or wasd, but with yghj or tfgh...

the face of the matter is... nothing in the MMO world is original anymore because just about everything has been thought off... so stop the childish whining of "OMG THIS GAME IS SUCK A RIP OF ____" just stop playing the game and go back to whatever you were playing and move on. You will live a much better MMO Life.

Which ripped off tabletop Dungeons&Dragons.

Which ripped off medieval wargames.

Which ripped off Napoleonics and Civil War wargames.

Which ripped off the German "Kriegspiel".

I love WAR but would people please STOP posting crap like this? Anyone with half a brain knows that another game isnt going to bring down WoW. To possibly even come close to taking over WoW on the top subscriber list takes alot more than just creating a great game. BTW I dont like WoW anymore. Played WOTLK and feel its the same old BS. The expansion will still outsell WAR.


 
You're wrong ;)
 
lol, anybody with any taste in gaimes will love WAR a lot more than WoW. The latter is teetering out, everyone is having their gear wiped for the 2nd time and I don't think many can be arsed to go through the 10 level grinds once again, just for some boring end game, 1 new BG and Blizzard's renewed attempt at RvR (which looks really bad...)



 
 
God do we really have to read your fanboi drivel all over the place? You obviously can't be objective about anything anywhere.


Actually Pheace, hes right. Not so much about de-throning WoW, but the pure fact of
"everyone is having their gear wiped for the 2nd time and I don't think many can be arsed to go through the 10 level grinds once again, just for some boring end game, 1 new BG and Blizzard's renewed attempt at RvR (which looks really bad...)"
which is correct..

Oh my god its Jason Bourne...

The pre launch WotLK hype is already starting.
From a low 5.7 million Wow characters played daily in June to a daily 6.7 million characters in the last 3 weeks.
Stats for US/EU btw.
Build up is exactly like pre TBC launch (1 million up with a boom of 2 more million on launch).
AOC/WAR or no AOC/WAR.
Only the 0.000001 % minority of Wowhaters.COM  think otherwise. (and even they will buy WotLK secretly).

WARNING!
It's troll named Vicksbug - the same post style and often uses underlines. After he stopped posting as Vicksburg (banned maybe? or just lost all credibility) 2 new accounts spawned - TeamFortress and memoir - he trolls WAR and bash other games (like EVE) and brownosing blizzard crap - probably he is payed for virual marketing - check account details, create dates, how often he posts and post style.

Lol Conan and WAR have already killed WoW.  Nevermind the subscription numbers, don't pay attention to those and you'll see that WoW is dead.  Blizzard will likely shut it down sometime soon.

I'm wondering what the UO killer will be though.
