I don't care who cloned whom.... What matters is, whose the BETTER one.
Really if a clone ends up being the better, aka Warcraft, then that's just it, they came out first with the mmorpg and they had the fame with the RTS games with it , the characters in those were very popular and in their own way A LOT "cooler" than Warhammer's.
Also people borrow stuff from each other, i mean just look at JRR Tolkien, he gathered a lot of old nordic myths together and other sagas and made LOTR.... Blizzard got their inspiration from Warhammer and thus created their super hit Warcraft universe. |

It's not a WOW clone, but it will be the closest thing to a WOW2:
BG with steroids, rip-off of WOW crafting system, WOW improved graphics (yes it's WAR's graphics, but the fact is that WOW put them first in an MMO, so that's what is in milions of players minds).
Only, it will be less of an open world, without fishing, underwater content and diving. Not that WOW had much underwater content, but it had some. So in this sense it looks like it is stressing the Them Park part of WOW... something that seemed impossible, WOW looking so much like a Theme Park back then, but MMO companies are very good at braking new grounds
Regarding DAoC... I think DAoC veterans are up to a big disappointment. |

...and I am a vet of DAoC and everything I've seen so far is on the right path and now with the financial backing they didn't have with DAoC its only going to be much better! Mythic released DAoC early cause they ran out of money and to this day its still rated above almost every MMO out! |

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before. |
Yawns There will be ppl after the release shouting on the general "omg it's a clone" so be prepared for the ignorants to be around comparing everything to WoW and believing that WoW started the whole mmorpg genre. Especially that WAR is based on WoW look and not wise-versa. |

WAR - Plug in Parts see what happens Better yet WoW - Buy Pattern / formula disenchant, stand around yelling to hopefully enchant items (making it a pain in the ass to make money off of and primarily a guildies only use). WAR - 'disenchant' for random magical bits, Create Enchanted talismen from random magical bits, Sell Talismen on AH. No Pattern / Formula Necessary, no standing around hoping someone has time & money to wait for you to place the enchantment. Very different systems..there is no other way to do Enchants..a game with magical items will have enchanting thats just how it is..but even in WOW they have to buyf ucking Enchant patterns n bullshit you don't do that in WAR thats why WAR's system is different. If anything WoW copied frigging other games for Enchanting hmm OH frigging EQ..Ooh...god your such ... troll Atlair atleast get it right for once in your life. |

Originally posted by WickershamSimilarities I see: The UI. I don't count Fantasy races as a similarity because it's a High Fantasy game, just like WoW...and EQ...and just about every other fantasy game out there. So to say WAR's a WoW clone because of that is seriously lacking IQ. Besides that, everything else I see that might resemble WoW is actually being taken by Mythic and being improved upon about eightfold. That's how I see it. An example: Battlegrounds in WoW. Four of them. Now, there will be 30 scenarios in WAR...4x8 is 32, so its got about 8 times the "battlegrounds" that WoW does. Plus with different objectives and ways to control the battle. |
