I have read that interview several times, and it in no way, in any language, suggests that the developers are going to emulate wow passed the fact that they are both MMOs.

Sure they look at the most succesful PC game to date. Who in thier right mind wouldnt? Why would you make a game that is unfriendly to wow players. 

 

Remember that this, until we know otherwise, is an action based game. Just this fact alone puts DMO worlds away from WOW in and of itself. Not to mention you know.. the whole Sci Fi v Fantasy thing.

 

Now if you want a WoW clone in a sci fi world, go check on TOR. Traditional MMO WoWness the whole way through...

 I think we agree somewhat, judging by your other posts you come off as very defensive about DMO. I never said I wanted a WoW clone. I never said they are making a WoW clone. You say "sure they look at the most succesful PC game to date" and that's pretty much what I was saying too =)

Maybe I was being unclear, I thought I could make myself understood in english but maybe I cant. I said "looking to WoW" as in "looking to WoW for ideas" but maybe ppl read it like something else?

 Saying 'looking to WoW' is in itself sayign they are goign to pull ideas fromw WoW, and that says they will copy WoW.

 The OP said the devs were WoW fans to stoke the flames; and he got the ball rolling because apparently as sooon as anyone sees 'WoW" and any new MMO in the same sentance they lose their shit. Why? Because we seem to have low troll resistance and easily take this bait.

 Probably wouldn't be having this many WoW clone arguments if the posts such as this thread were nuked from orbit before they got too big.

Just take a look at that,,, come on,, lets be real here. These guys have some serious WoW fans behind the scenes. (excluding the guy that does Illidan voice).

wow that game has WoW written all over it. (major pun intended)

 

I get the feeling, that War40k will have strong WoW like characteristics, (not that this is a bad thing), but I feel its something people should expect, so they wont be disappointed that War40k isnt the Anti-WoW they wanted.

Its been clear for like a year that war 40k will continue what WAR did wrong. And attempt a wow 2.0.

And another thing can someone show me the itnerview where they guaranteed a two faction setup, the link where GW clears it, and the link where it becoems WAR? Because for all the talk, for the supposedly low amount of itnerviews, i have yet to see it.

 Abadon looks like a dragon, that dragon looks like death wing, WoW has deathwing, therefore sicne darksiders was made by the DMO guys, DMO will be jsut like fuckinG WoW.

 Insane right?

So ford made the pinto, all fords are pintos? again what does a cutscene from Darksiders have to do with warhammer 40k?

warhammer 40k is focus on guns.. warcraft is focus on swords and arrow.

nuff said :P no one copy anyone....

They reiterate this in the brand new statement on thier website.

"A new era of online gaming begins with the anticipated release of Warhammer® 40,000®: Dark Millennium Online™. Set in a dark and brutally violent universe,Dark Millennium Online seamlessly blends the scale and strategy of MMORPGs, with the fast-paced combat of an action game to provide an all-new level of intensity and excitement."

Lets hope they can deliver on that

The character design have similarities because their influences are the same... and they have this little history that never really got validated.

Warcraft is Warhammer's brother that was never allowed in the house.  Warhammer know Warcraft but will never tell you they're related.

you sir forgot the chain sword, the power axe, the thunder hammer, the lightning claws, the hammer and shield setup of the terminators!

the heavy weapons such as the missile launcher, the plasma launcher, and the flamer!

I'm not sure if this is historically accurate, from my book, WoW invented nothing??? :S I thought they used everything that was on the market and made it better, but never invent??

 Thats the game; the IP was jsut Metzen taking ideasfrom other things. The least inventive bit is the story to it; that bit that generates metzens ego.

i think the OP has no idea on whats happening on the real life, not even a little.

I actually bought Darksider due to interest in this thread and WAR40K

the art style is AMAZING! I loved it, the combat was already, a bit too god of war-esque but at least there weren't any of those real time events to press the buttons......

Story wasn't too amazing, but it was interesting enough.

And anyone else realise the connotations between Darksider and Zelda? the hood, the horse, sword, chest,etc

I say they are Big time Zelda fans more :P

but I honestly don't see any connections with WoW. And frankly, if they can put the darksider's art style into WAR40K it will be amazing. And tehy did mention action combat on their offical website, so it wouldn't be just WoW 2.0

Very Simple:

1) World of Warcraft - Biggest MMO RPG ever to have existed... Brought the MMORPG game to mainstream

2) Warhammer 40k is VERY similar style... Animated orcs/humans and more... Why wouldn't it look similar?

3) Why does it matter if they are fans of WoW?  Might as well claim anyone who is a fan of popular sports team is "bad"

WoW took everything that had existed before it and polished it up to a pretty well rounded game.  Might not be the game you like but numbers prove it's popular.

I personally don't enjoy playing it anymore, but I don't enjoy playing any MMO's anymore.

we allready have "space wow", do we really need "space wow but a bit grittier"

its WH40K ffs, it should be about WAR!  not about doing fed ex quests and dungeons to get a new set of pants.

I absolutely agree, warhammer 40k should be throw the characters into the middle of a war. And collecting bear asses is not really in keeping with that.
