To me it looks more like they tried melding Guild Wars with Lineage 2. It'd be stupid to say they aren't trying to compete with WoW, but I doubt that their intention was to create a carbon copy of it.
WoW just took ideas and concepts from Dark Age of Camelot, Everquest and a handful of other MMO's and melded them into one and made it more accessible to newcomers while still catering to a hardcore audience. The majority of modern day MMO's are using ideas and features that were used in MMO's from the 90's/Early 2000's.
That's definitely true, and the point I continually try to make is that just about everything has already been done before, just not all of it has been cultivated into the same "pot". I like to compare it to Lineage 2 and Guild Wars since they're both under NCSoft's (ArenaNet in GW's case) developer label already, so it doesn't seem like they're reaching too far outside of their own base, so to speak.
let me ask you something, if wow copied and stole from all other games, then why the fuck 10mil players playing it and it's the best freaking game there is ?
I don't recall yakhyakh saying that it stole features from WoW. You do realize EVERY single game out there has features that previous games had? Who started the first person shooter? Doom right? Best game ever? Personally, I don't think it is, it's just your opinion. And plus, can you prove to me that WoW didn't take features from older MMO's?
the horde and the alliance thing thats kinda new, right?
illidan and the lore... it's all came from the real story right ?
the paladin class... the warlock as well, and i never played a game before made me do stuff with my pet like i did with wow, and wow sux cuz i worth nothing with out my pet, anyways wow is going down right now, time for Aoc but really i don't like AoC but ill give it try, im waiting for Gw2 and Warhammer.
old stuff? been there for LOOONG time ? then how come no one did it as good as wow ? i dont say wow is the best, cuz wow in pvp = Fail, not balanced, and for PvE raid and dungeons is good, but for soloing and lvling up hard to solo the game =/
So basically what you're saying is, if no one did it as good as WoW, they didn't do it before them? Yeah, that makes perfect sense....
Doom made first person shooters. Then Half-Life 2 came and made it better. That means Half-Life 2 came before Doom right? Because basically, that is what you're saying.
what i meant is every company has it own touch, but WoW was best of the best, even the idea of it was simple and AoC or War hammer going to copy and just add their touch, and we don't need that, i don't know why people keep on buying crappy games ...
WoW was only good because it took all the good features of MMO's and fixed all the bad ones. Blizzard also made it accessible to people who are new to MMORPG's by making it less hardcore and easier to pick up and play. Let's just leave it at that, I'm tired of replying.
were basiclly playing the same games since EQ, with better graphics.
UO had a different leveling concept.
Im kinda tired of it, and the way all companys makes all mmos so casual and easymode, thats why i think im gonna try this game out.
also check blade and soul

A copy of WoW or MMO's that came before it?

The 2 factions thing. It was in Everquest.
Illidan and lore. Those aren't gameplay elements, those are part of the Warcraft story.
Paladin, it's been around for a LOOONG time. Ever since Dungeons and Dragons.
Warlock and pets. Old features.
