Which game has the most influence in the gaming world in recent years? Definitely, it's World of Warcraft. As a result, more and more developers are copying World of Warcraft and more and more WoW rip-offs are coming into the market. How should we respond? Give it a try? Refuse it? OK, it's not the focus of our discussion today. Today, we'll talk about some MMORPGs which are similar to WoW to some extent.



Warhammer

WaR has something like 20 million people wanting to play it, simply because it's based off Warhammer. Warhammer is considered to be darker and more gothic, unlike wow which is more of a carebears game. Warhammer is not going to be carebearish at all, at least that is what the dev team claimed.


Warhammer Age of Reckoning vs World of Warcraft Style

The graphics do look semi-similar to World of Warcraft but a bit more detailed. But if you played the table top, the characters were over exaggerated and looked like the characters in game. Just because WoW chose to do this does not mean they shouldn't stick to what is true to the game. The great thing about WAR being RVR and not PVP is that players do not have to put up with the e-peen teens as much unless you come to vn and enjoy the drama. Warhammer will have a huge population it just remains to be seen how many will come from WoW. WoW appeals to the raider and casual PVPer. While WAR will appeal to the RVR'er and the casual raider.

    I have played WoW for over 4 years and well it was fun for a few years it does get old going to the same places and instances over and over. I just want a new game to play with differnt style of play and differnt ways to get around in the game i played perfect world ewwww is all can say the flying mounts r way to slow !! and the grinding is endless ..... kinda like that..... i have been playing runes of magic its kinda like wow but a chas shop and no fees. the timed mounts kinda blow chunks. I am now playing Aion and let me tell you I LOVE IT !!! So much differnt then WoW TRUST ME I KNOW !!! I love the fact we can fly in the game and if it says no fly you can still fly hehehe and combat in the air is way better then FLFF !!! take it from some one who knows her MMO's I have played them all i will p2p Aion 14.99 is not bad i also got the open beta key from buying the pre order at gamestop !! so go befor there all gone ! peace love and fruit loops!

    a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

    Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now


    Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

    FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream


    Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
