So much hate.
They are just games people. Chill the Hell out.
Let people make ridiculous claims, then -- when the game is released -- debate to high heavens about which is better, who copied who and all that jazz.
As it's been stated, WoW did many things right and that is what made it popular. WAR is obviously going to be influenced by not just WoW, but every MMO with excellent design features.
It's likely those features will be altered and improved upon, and isn't that what we're all hoping for.
Of course we want innovation -- but you can't fault Mythic for -potentially- incorporating past successes; we should expect it to some degree.
No game is a clone strictly speaking, and I don't expect WAR to be either.
Am I correct in believing that the title of the thread is a 300 comparison?
Because if it is, I'm imagining the Penny Arcade strip (that is so often posted on threads like this) and tying it into 300 and just laughing hysterically at the thought....
Seriously though, isn't Warhammer Online actually being developed by Blizzard, and that Mythic is just a front?
I heard they took the exact same engine WoW uses and remodeled it from textures stolen from EQ2 and Vanguard?
I hear that they took the exact same music tracks in WoW and just spun them in reverse for Warhammer? I think I heard that they talk about the devil.
I heard that the Dwarves in the openining cinematic from WoW and from WAR are actually the same Dwarf? They must have had to pay him alot, he's famous!
My friend, who works at EA Activison Blizzard Mythic (the actually company name now after the merger and the fact Mythic is a dummy corp) that Blizzards new secret MMO project is actually Warhammer Online?
My sister's boyfriend's cousin's guild mate said that Darkfall is really just a covert name used around the EA Activision Blizzard Mythic office to describe what happens when a high level Destruction player crosses into a low Tier PvP area and becomes a chicken?
WoW did what many other companies do... they waited for the market to become stable and established. Once that happened, Blizzard moved into the market and virtually took it over. Blizzard learned form everyone else's mistakes. When WoW launched, they did a lot of the things right that others had done wrong. Will WAR really innovate? Not as much as most might think. They will do what WoW did, look at the current games on the market and try to right their wrongs. They will add their own flavor and a few features that put their WAR stamp on the game, but outside of that... they will leverage a tried and true-proven formula. Why re-invent the wheel when it's already spinning and has good momentum?
I totally agree with Blackwatch. I dont give care if WAR copies WoW or who WoW copied and so on and so on, all i care about is when WAR is released i enjoy playing the game. There gonner be listening to the comments of the beta players who are currently playing WAR so lets just hope they can bring us the best MMORPG on da planet.
Sadly WoW is the big dog right now, so everything is going to be compared to it. And the fanboi 12 year old are going to claim everything is a clone of WoW.
Get used to it, it's going to go on for at least another year.
I havent played WAR yet, but from the videos and screenshots ive seen, i would have to say that the characters and art style is similar to WoW, although i think WAR will be a superior game

*snicker*
I used to play Chaos in the tabletop game. Loved the storyline.
This game has alot of possibilities to be great. Let's hope it's done right.
All you people who says this is a Wow clone need to realize, Warhammer has been out longer then Warcraft.
You guys in beta are lucky. Pull some strings and get me a invite! I signed up a long time ago under this same name.
