Something about WoW...

I've been playing WoW for over a year and I've had a blast, for the most part. Blizzard's managed to create great MMO style PvP, solved many annoying issues that just about all MMOs suffer from and etc.
Blizzard utilized the features from MMOs starting from UO and combined them to make a great MMO... of course WoW has become a victim of it's own success with farming problems and etc.
BUT...
I started playing DDO the other day. My first reaction was, what's going on with this UI. It's different. Ok, figured that out. Then hey what's up with this game play. It's different! Ok, I can get into this. Let's not be too judgemental. Now it's, 'hey this is kind of fun but different.'
This difference has brought to light the fact that WoW is just a well-done minor variation of the theme UO started many years ago. It's getting old and abused by players and greedy money mongering corporations.
The MMO gaming community would do well to support MMOs that really offer something different so we don't keep getting fed the same dish cooked over and over.
Thanks,

I think WoW is more a variation of what EQ started than anything else.
UO was a totaly diferent game compared to modern mmorpg concepts.

Plus, I don't think there are many revolutionary ideas when it comes to UIs....
