I guess my question is..why didn't Warhammer switch up its art style so it wouldn't be compared to WoW?
To answer to the topic and the end of the sentence in the thread : it's just you that look a lot like warcraft.

You are right. I have been suspecting that too. Ever since John F. Kennedy began the "Warcraft" project to fight the martians global domination. The project was so successful they later found the Blizzard company so they can continue their work in Iraq because they thought Sadden Hussein was the last martian rebel. It turned out Sadden copied the idea of "Warcraft" project, renamed it as Warhammer and distributed it across other terrorist organizations. Those warhammer extermists have been releasing laughing gas against US troops in Iraq....
well ehh... just asking WHy to heck are the WAR interface system taken from WoW? just like the "target is too far" is in exact same place as in WoW with the same color as in WoW, chat window is very similiar to WoW...and eaven the circle under/around the char is same kind...and yea, the graphic style is a bit of a samekind but i think that WAR got that first in all their previous products.. and WoW's interface were taken from EQ1 so why the heck the same interface have to be used in so many games (almoust same)... gosh, don't recycle the old, make up something new <.< ohh, and i bet the max lvl is gonna be 50-60 right? tho i will at least test this game, eaven it's total copy from WoW/EQ1 w/e at least it looks like it. The in game is a lot diff. what i have read tho. i know WAR was before EQ/WoW, but which made first MMORPG... ? and no, iam not a WOW fan, i don't like WoW at all. gl and i bet i get flamed and never get answer to those questions.

Please use a few more paragraphs and a lot less ... ... ... ... ... It would make it alot easier to read.
As to your question, why would the war interface system be taken from WoW? Maybe because its a very easy to use system. And if your catering to some of the WoW crowd there wouldnt be much to get used to since its very similiar. To some extent I think its silly that your saying they copied it. There are only so many places where you can put your spell bars and chat boxes. Why be creative when you can be practical?
and WoW's interface were taken from EQ1 so why the heck the same interface have to be used in so many games (almoust same)... gosh, don't recycle the old, make up something new <.<
Again, its easy for people to use. How much different should it be? And is that really going to affect the game? I would be more irritated if they got all creative and had spells in inconvenient places.
Think about automobiles for a second. Why do all automobiles have a steering wheel, why is the radio console always in the middle, why dont they get creative and stop copying Henry Ford? Get my point?
ohh, and i bet the max lvl is gonna be 50-60 right? tho i will at least test this game, eaven it's total copy from WoW/EQ1 w/e at least it looks like it. The in game is a lot diff. what i have read tho.
WoW and Eq were both mmo's that you play online from your computer. Thats where the similarities end.
i know WAR was before EQ/WoW, but which made first MMORPG... ?
Warhammer made RPG tabletop games before Blizard and everquest were around.
and no, iam not a WOW fan, i don't like WoW at all.
Whether or not your a WoW fan doesnt really matter. Personally I like WoW. Ofcourse there are a million things I dont think they did right and they could of done better with, but I still enjoy the game. However, the only part of the game I play is the Battlegrounds with friends.
As a side thought,I think its gotten a bit ridiculous how unpopular it has become to LIKE WoW and to say as much on these forums. I dont beleive in evolution and I like WoW. I am definitely in the minority among the mmo nerds.
gl and i bet i get flamed and never get answer to those questions.
I wanted to flame you, if that makes you feel any better. Saying WAR is a total copy of eq and WoW will get most Warhammer fans a little upset. If you have questions, ask questions.
I have to wonder, if you genuinely wanted your questions answered why did you make a flame worthy post? You even admitted as much when you said "I bet I get flamed and never get answer to those questions". Hmm why ever would you think that?

but whatever...
once again sorry about being what i stand against....people that talk about something they dont even know about lol
i know one thing now....i cant wait til WAR comes out WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Just wanted to congratulate Logangregor on his flame free response, nicely done.
Only thing I'd add to it is that the "level" cap will essentially be 40 with 4 tiers, 10 steps in each.
