Yup, every 3rd friday of the month but only on a full moon and only if the office dog Spot humped at least 38 legs that week. Obviously GAMES ARE GOING TO COPY EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY A GAME THAT HAS 7 MILLION SUBS. I'm not stupid and I'm not denying that fact. But when almost everything to come out from SOE devs has been a straight copy job of WoW in the past few months, that's plagiarism. I wish Blizz would sue SOE for it, I really do. This was such a fun game, why SOE, why?!??
I get it too bebe, some people are just being deliberately obtuse.

So before you REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, make sure you know what you're talking about.
Hmm actually it's not exactly like the FRS... I see that and think, wait I was in the FRS and it did not look like this nor acted like this.
From the Decay of it, skills and they way they worked in it, the rareness and certain people in it, to the way you were or made it into the FRS?
In fact, the FRS and this new system are not alike OTHER then "You get somthing for PvP" Hell there is not even decay of loss of death, XP.. so I mean, the FRS was NOT like this.
In this you do not lose FRS out the ass, --- in fact I know you don't loose XP, thats gone from the game (it was to risky and hard I guess)...
I have all my screen shots from the FRS as well, sorry-- this just isnt like the FRS really.

So, in other words they are alike just not alot alike or identical. Also death decay is returning with the trader revamp in about 1.5 months or so. Even more commonality comes in then.

That gives 5 months between when FRS was presented and when WoW went live. I don't know if wow had identical ranking system at launch, but I think it was there.
Here's the thing. Unlike SWG, where NGE was pushed out in a matter of weeks, Blizzard treats software development with respect. 5 months before launch nothing new gets added. Especially not the entire pvp system. Since, after all, in WoW this is entire pvp system, not just some niche part.
This is especially true considering the ammount of rewards associated with the WoW's system, which simply wouldn't be developed from scratch to launch in 5 months.

Yes, and once you get through that content you have no real means of making your own.
And that differs from the nge how again?

Two things. Does WoW have player events like SWG does (with support from the dev team)? Can you go off and set up a new house with whatever design you like?

So no, WoW didn't copy from FRS.
