So i was looking up new vids etc. old ones , whatever about AOC and i found that Aoc is becoming WoW.
No joke i was very suprised but i think AOC might take the gold for next WoW clone with the exeption of different combat.
Now you ask why do i say this? Well check vid out.

To me the graphixs look like an updated WoW, the toons and the MOB's in particular, the enviroment textures look like like wow's but the the stuctures or their textures . Each toon has 3 feat "talent" trees That look and work just like wow's. (You can't denine this one folks take a look at the vid).
Ok this post is a bit of a joke, i just could not believe that they all when with the lame talent trees , that blizz has been using since d2.
That being said game is looking good and offers a promise of a new mmo to play and experience. (That is acctually worth doing so.)

though i think there are some things that AOC could have done more inventive with certain functions, but for the most part its now WOW.
*Buzz* Wrong. Gameplay video means nothing, there is so much more we know nothing about in AoC. If your looking for the next WoW clone check out WAR.
And even if that weren't the case...how the hell do you gather all this from the video? I watched it...repeatedly and what you see is like...no indication whatsoever.
Graphics WoW-Like??? Did we watch the same video?
The Talent-tree...of which you see like...-ONE- picture and nothing else, it's not even switched and of which it is explained why it will differ from WoW. Did you even listen to what the people were saying in the video?
So...that said, there will probably be similarities to WoW in many many games to come. That's because WoW did quite a few things right. It doesn't mean that a game is a WoW - Clone just because you spot a similarity. -.-

I don't think War or AoC are WoW clones, i believe they will both bring new things and ideas to the industry.
I'm sure someone else will post a long reply to this, but it's obvious both games are going in diff. directions then WoW, and they are already showing they have learned from the past in not releasing a unfinished game, but we will not know untill they lauch so........chill
Unfourtanetely we will see alot of WoW clones in the future. LOTR is a WOW clone, Tabula Rasa is a sci-fi WOW clone and WAR looks like it will be quite similar to Wow but I really hope AoC wont be but I wouldnt be too surprised if it turned out to be one.
Because what excactly defines a WoW clone? I would say a casual, linear, quest driven MMORPG with a tree type skill system and a controlled PvP environment where the devs decide where and for what you PvP for. Hm, sounds quite similar to both AoC and WAR.
Right now Chronicles of Spellborn and Darkfall are the only two games that most likely wont be WoW clones.

Yep, until 7th of january. Not renewing though.My gaming blog
CoSB and Darkfall (if that game is even real) will not be successful.
TR a WoW clone?? i call Bullshit
are you currantly sub'd to TR?
Yep, until 7th of january. Not renewing though.I'm sorry, but TR is in no way (in my opinion) a wow clone there are a ton of differance's. I don't think i can think of one thing that reminds me of WoW.....i mean it's a FPS, you have plenty of bag space from the start, fighting for CP's (Very fun), you get missions for instance's inside the instance...i could go on...i'm not saying it's a revolution in gaming, and perfect. a lot of things in TR bother me, but it's no WoW clone.
Oh come the talent tree is basically a snatch and grab from blizz, sure d2 and WoW's talent trees were slightly different and so will be AOC , but in the end its the same thing. One line does dps the other tanking (aoc), gee sounds familiar.
Yes, if you read all of my first post you'll seee me saying the post was a bit of a joke, but the talent tree swipe is sad stuff. Seeing as it is one of the worse character customization formats ever made, imo.
However, for denying the fact that its a snatch and grab you are labeled a "Con-head" (con sounds like cone). Im just joking saw others do other fanboy names today and well its just funny.
I don't know about the graphix when i see a city it looks very different , but when i see just a mob and the player out in the middle of a desert or forest it looks pretty similar. That being said, how much different can they be? (In otherwords, there will always be similarities). Heck in a few above post people call TR a wow clone , if ya ask me i think aoc has more graphical similarities to WoW than TR does....

the probly with tr is its way to linear but other words its a decent game

Again in regards to the talent tree. Did you listen to what the man was saying? That he was actually saying exactly the opposite of what you say? That they don't want "One Line DPS, One line Tank"? I don't say the talent-tree idea isn't grabbed from WoW or Diablo if you want to go that far back, I'm just saying that the same ideas can be implemented in different ways.
As for the graphics. WoW has the cartoon look, AoC most certainly won't have that. So where are the similarities?

Try play beta.
1. if you like wow play wow, ill watch saturday moarning cartoons instead
2. most people allready know this game is going to rickidy rock the house (F*ck WoW)
3. this game is targeted for mature audiences and i dont mean a rating system i mean actual mental maturity.
4. The children who played WoW because they saw it on southpark will not like this game
5. F*ck WoW
6. WoW ruined what MMO's are and should be.
7. SWG when it started was one of the best MMO's ever, bottom line. *R.I.P*
8. F*ck WoW
9. lets not forget Funcom, Never screwed me over..you?
10. Bring on the fights, swords, and shields, I look forward to being the reason you quit AoC because you keep getting your ass killed every time you enter a PVP zone. I shall wave goodbye gracefully as you return to suck on WoW's tiny little balls.
What a pointless rant. Get over yourself.
........All mmos are going to be just like wow for the next year stfu already are you all really that stupid?

I'm starting to get suck of people comparing my Age of Conan to WoW. Here's few known facts:
:Age of Conan using their own graphic engine that they programmed themselves
:Funcom is using the talent tree from Anaarchy. they've stated this many times so, if you want to compare the AoC talent tree to Wow please do because WoW talent tree is inferior.
:Age of Conan using real-time combat.
I've prove my point.

I think its a WoW clone because it is:Ofcourse its not excactly the same but clone in this context doesnt meant that even though the word does. LOTR isnt excactly the same as WoW either but borrows heavily from it, just like TR.
And TR is certainly not an FPS game, the combat system is way to simplistic for it to be qualifed as an FPS.

AoC is nothing like WoW. You want to compare that childish game with any game it might as well be Warhammer. Except that Warhammer will never be what WoW is. Warhammer will be full of people looking for a break from WoW and realizing they just bought WoW 2. AoC is the future.
Maybe you should play it before you say what it is or isnt, but obvioulsy its going to be somewhat like wow, theres no way it wouldnt be, all games will be like wow in one way or another

maybe we should say that they're ALL "clones" of old AD&D because you have "Hit points" (health, Morale, whatever, same thing differant name).
Simply because a game shares a feature with another game does not make it a "clone".
As these games progress, they are all building off from each other's good ideas, as a foundation, then adding unique ideas on top of that. It's called progress.
Besides....trust in Funcom. Anarchy Online is still running, still has a decent subscriber base, and has never pulled an "NGE". I have years of fond memories of that game. I am quite anxious to see what they will do this time, with AoC.
if u are calling AoC's graphics an upgraded version of WoW u NEED to get your eyes checked.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
Oh, I get it now. From now on any game using pretty much a PC to play is copying something from WoW.

I'm not afraid AoC will become another WoW, I'm afraid this new combat system (that requires gamepad to be used best) will be BORING compared to WoW.
If you saw combat videos from beta you saw how SLOW your avatar turns (opposed to this, you can turn REALLY QUICKLY by using a MMORPG standard - A MOUSE).
Too often you can MISS your opponent, cutting air with your sword.
All that looks to me like a game-breaker. Slow and frustrating combat.
And if the combat in AoC doesn't work, nothing can save it from becoming a flop.
