    OMG its got a hotbar WOW-RIPOFF . OMG its got scrolling combat text WOW-RIPOFF. OMG its got quests WOW-RIPOFF. OMG its got "cartoony" graphics. OMG its got weapons WOW-RIPOFF!!!
    Incase you couldnt tell, I am being sarcastic. MMORPG's were around for about 8 years before world of warcraft and will be around long after it dies.
    I hate MMORPG virgins that pop their cherry on warcraft and think its gods gift to gamers. WoW basically just ripped off the best bits of previous MMORPG's and made them noob friendly. Warhammer online is the next step in evolution.
    It happens with every genre of games. Can you really call Half-life 2 a rip off of the Doom franchise because they both use first person with guns? No, of course not, that would be rediculous. That is exactly what you are doing when you say Warhammer is ripping off Warcraft.

All WoW did was take ideas from WAR and other games in the same category and polish it.

That's all it takes to make 8 million people retarded.

Grr, yesterday when i left my guild on WoW and stopped play wow for WAR half the guild start complain on WAR. they have not an idea on what WAR is. WAR is a ground on WoW. And whatta about the orcs.. All those who played WoW for a long while says "their orcs" is the right.. FFS THEY LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE THAT TYPE OF GUY THAT GOES ON TEA PARTY ON SATURDAYS! I like Orcs in WAR, that was the biggest thing getting my attention to this game, they are brutish, cool, red eyes and soo blood thirsty that they will rip out their friends heart any second with a face like this --->  

 

second thing that this not gonna be like WoW is RvR part. i dont know what RvR is really ^^ but i think its like taking teritorrys and that thing.. if so WoW sucked on that.. had like some small towers to take and hold in Eastern plauge land.

Or even better, please stop starting these damn redundant threads on this subject. It's getting just as obnoxious, if not moreso, than the trolls themselves.

Well, Games Workshop will be 31 years old this year. The Warhammer world which is made by Games Workshop is 26 Years old. Im sorry all you WoW fans out there... Orcs has been existing in Warhammer for more than 22 years now, same has the background story, so the conclusion must be you got no freaking idea what you are talking about!

Orc's were first made popular by Tolken in 1937 when he published The Hobbit.  Before that they were simply parts of old european legends.  The one that Tolkin actually took the word from was Beowulf.

So quit argueing about if Warcraft or Warhammer is correct.  Because nether of them match Tolkin's Orcs.  They are all differnent creatures for the respective worlds they belong in.

I play Wow, and plan on playing War as well.  bonafidee is correct in saying they are simply improving on ideas used since MMORPG's came out.

For Great....what were we talking about? Ooo...a shiney.

Here is what you say to anyone that says WAR is ripping off WoW. The Warhammer Fantasy Table top game is almost 25 years old. That means the first release was WAY back in 1982. When was the very first Warcraft game released? Is that 1994 you say? That's 12 years of development for Games Workshop on Warhammer Fantasy. Warcraft actually has pulled a great deal of it's information from the Warhammer Universe. It's actually pretty easy to see if you read up on some of the lore from Warhammer Fantasy.

I'm not saying that Warhammer Fantasy is 100% Original Either. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings was published way back in 1954.

Hahaha WoW popped my MMORPG cherry ;)

BUT each game is it's own entity and it has to be viewed as such.  Warhammer has been around since the early 80s if I can recall correctly.  I don't remember Warcraft coming into the picture until the early 90s.  I could be wrong about that, but I don't think I am.

I agree with the posts that say the fantasy-esque genre has been around for decades (Tolkien), therefore, most fantasy stories follow the same patterns with different, slight variations. 

As far as Warhammer following the same type of gameplay as WoW, I say GOOD!  I know that system :)  If not, then GOOD!  I can learn something new!  I'm really psyched for Warhammer... it's a new story to me, and a different community.  Hopefully WAR vs. WoW will be like PC vs. MAC, devotees to one will never touch the other-- honestly I don't think I can take WoW devotees infecting the WAR universe.  LOL.

The good ol' timeless question of this.  Let's start out by getting this fact straight: The story, artwork, feel, and world of Warcraft is a complete ripoff of the Warhammer Universe.  As said numerous times before in this thread, Warhammer has been around since the early 80's, while Warcraft came out in the Mid-90's.  I mean for god's sakes there is a Warcraft Novel called "The Sundering" a direct rip off of the whole "Sundering" in Warhammer, where the Dark Elves broke off from the High Elves.  Just to top that off, look at WoW and it's graphics, that's exactly how Warhammer has looked since the beginning in the novels, artwork and novels.  Why did Blizzard make Warcraft?  I'd guess they couldn't get the Licensing rights from GW back in the 90's and decided to carry on anyways under a "different" name.

Did you see the gameplay videos on Gametrailers, I could barely tell the difference between it a WOW. Apart from the graphics, wich are more or less the same but inferior, the game plays exactly the same. Please one of these days a dev will have an original idea. Hope i'm alive to witness it. WAR may have used this graphic style before but they could have tried to make it better than WOW and not copied it directly. MOTS again and again and again.
