Yes but is there an emminent need for it? That's the question. I'm willing to bet there is a large group of customers that actually wants familiarity, maybe even to the point of being turned off by learning something new. I don't know that as a fact but I know a few people like that too.
There's smart business sense in keeping somethings similar if you want people to be able to sit down and get straight to it, specially coming from other MMOs
Opinion much?
High Five FTW!
ahahahaha NOT a WoW clone at all....
GZ to OP!!!
I can't help your reading comprehention anymore than I feel like having lengthy back and fourths trying to explain things to you because of that.
If you write "They do not care" you first have to prove that there's a reason to care as the pure basics of that argument. Second you would have to actually establish how you belong to a valuable group of players where this particular issue is important.
Saying somebody doesn't care about a feature could be correct. Acting like they SHOULD care about 1 particular issue is a whole other matter.
That's where the line between 'opinion' and trying to state a 'truth' gets blurred out. That's like you stating that I do not care about you. How do you know what I care about. It's a pointless comment
So yes there is a world of difference between what I write and what he has written. I don't make statements I can't back up
What about Runescape, DAoC, Guild Wars, Tibia, FFXIV, Anarchy Online...?
OFC! They dont cater the WoW clone audience
best post ever and proves. get together guys and deny the torcraft
Grats for mentioning the 10% that isn't
This
"The guy plays WoW, Warhammer, Rift and Runes of Magic and gets insta experience from all themepark MMOs on the market."
indeed
This x2
As pointless as those statements are. Clones of clones of clones is going to continue to the day you are in a nursing home getting a diaper change. The genre hasn't really evolved since the 90's. We have prettier graphics that's about it. We still cling to the trinity, tab targeting and turn/time based combat. The ones that try and be different can't sustain enough numbers to sort out their own buggy games.
Lets face it you are going to be using this line the next 20 years to come unless you find some niche sandbox game you can hide yourself in.
Disclaimer: this is my opinon and armchair prediction for the future. not a fact

If only that was something official and not possibly a guy with an agenda that decided to create a webpage to link in various posts online
/tinfoil hat off
Well when you start something new, you have the choice of copying someone else's work, but not so obvious that it will get you sued, or you can innovate.
It is clear that Bioware took the former approach. Then they re-used what they are good at, which is single player stories and voice overs, and claimed that they innovated.
You have to be naive as a child to buy into that nonsense.

You can check xfire numbers too. They can't all lie

I guess this one is from the same site you linked compared to xfire numbers
Is there a point to this thread that I'm missing?
What does WoW's 7 year head start have to do with it having similar varety to Rift? It did at launch. Just pointing out that bragging because Rift has a heaing mage and a tanking cleric isnt impressive.
That the game is a shameless WoW clone. Something denied by many fans.

Trion's also said similar things about RIFT, looks how the game's doing now.
Never trust vague comments from from dev, the only thing that is solid is the numbers
lolz...owned
Rarely discuss the game at all any more...just waiting for you Crusaders to run out of steam, some day.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
It will happen the day they get their quality triple A bug free sandbox game to play in. Which translates to never
Not every SWTOR "hater" is a sandboxer, actually most people who hate SWTOR hate it becauses they want something new, not necessarily a sandbox.
For me at least, it doesn't have to be a sandbox specifically, but just stepping outside the box, even slightly.
Yup very similar can't be denied but i do have to say the Jedi Knight plays much better than WoW warrior even if those abilities are similar. Force leap, taunt and guard are much better just to name a few.
I would like to see a side by side comparison of EQ warrior and WoW warrior. That would be interesting. I don’t remember the warrior abilities as my main was a SK but they did have some cross over abilities.
I can feel your anger. This game is defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike this game down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards towards the Dark Side will be complete.
