To the above post I don't see your point? WoW started as a 90% clone of EQ so what if Doac plays a role in WAR's development.As far as content goes Wow's ingame landmass and in game content was much smaller than it is today as was EQ,UO etc the fact of the matter is lets not turn WoW into a MMO mircosoft.Give WAR a chance in reviews are anything to go by its the best MMO to come out in years.
Oh one more thing those who say WAR is laggy bugged or whatever UO was featureless first day I logged on no grass no trees nothing it took 2 weeks to fix.EQ was down 7 days out of the first 10 it started.WOW wents down for 2 days then was taken off the shop shelves for 10 days 2 weeks? Then you continuely crashed, fell through the world, got stuck in doorways for about a year after that so all you little crybabies who say WAR is laggy choppy whatever, remember this its running like a dream compared to how the others started.
I've been playing MMOs since UO I played EQ SWG EQ2 and WoW since its first day and I've left some friends behind each time but that like real life as we all move on to bigger and better things.WoW was a great game in its day it overhalled EQ's crazy epic waitings times and improved the Us vs Them scenario,just like what EQ did to UO! It seems to me this happens in a 3-4 year cycle one smart company learns form another's misgivings and improves the MMO arena for us all.For me WoW started great you could see the war all around you in world pvp but them someone decided to throw it all in BGs at first with Exp then without then without the best items of PvP since Arena.Blizzard got lazy on its fat millions of subscribers and now feeds us all like fat babies with in game candy like Zebra's to ride and chinese olympic dragon pets dam there's even Paris Pilton/Hilton if you wanna handbag to keep you sword shield and pet xmas gnome called tinkerbell in! But in the wow world players have absolutly no impact on their server/game anymore quite honestly WoW isn't true to its name there is no war anymore Ironforge will never belong to orcs and Org will never belong to Dwarves.In wow your just BORG in different shades of green blue and brown.
War offers a chance to mould the world around you and in Open rvr noone is really safe anywhere.Wow has had its time and for the good of the MMO community it needs a shakeup like UO and EQ had,to comtinue the evolution of awesome MMOs,to leave WoW unchalledged at the top is selling yourself short.
