STOP copying WoW and start copying DAoC

While I would have to admit that I miss the greatness that was Darkness Falls, I wouldn't let a Mythic developer touch my game ... EVER.

This is opinion and has no basis in fact. The only thing that can be said for sure about WoW is that it was the most financially successful MMO ever. It is obvious that other companies tried to hop on the bandwagon. This, however, does not mean WoW changed MMO's for the better.

In fact, since most of these games failed, one might deduct that while WoW became a hit, the game mechanics WoW used to keep its sheep subbing could not help other games establish themselves. This reflects poorly on said mechanics.

cba reading all the replies but @ the OP.

There is a reason DAoC is FREE TO PLAY, and WoW is the most successful mmo in history .

That's the same thing as saying Call of Duty didn't change the FPS world, just that everyone jumped on the bandwagon to release FPS games that seem like CoD clones *cough*BF3*COUGH*.

Come on man.

Ehm since when is DAoC free to play???

And no WoW isnt the most successful mmo in the world thats Farmville but i can see hav you could mix those 2 up.

because we all know DAoC did much better than WoW.... lols

The nerf(s) to warlocks were far more substantial than the upcoming changes in 1.2 to Wrath/PoM & tracer/grav. Please don't copy that level 'fine tuning' for class abilities.

PVP this is hav people should enjoy World PVP.

ahhahaahhahaha, where is this 'pvp society' that said this? Becuase I can sure as hell tell you that all the pvpers on Arenajunkies that play games ranging from WoW to Counterstrike to SC2/LoL don't want gear disparity in their game.

DAoC was fun pvp but it was in NO WAY competitive, which is what people want this day in age.

GW2 is going to disappoint all the gear grinding geeks because you can make a character max level for pvp right away with all the best gear etc instantly.

They get what PVPers want. We want a balanced atmosphere where you can tell who is good and who isn't.

Right now in SWTOR there is no way to tell who is good because you have war heroes who keyboard turn and click but grind warzones 12 hours a day, that isn't a show of skill that's just a show of he has a lot of free time.

The reason games like SC2 and LoL are so successful in e-sports scene is because everyone uses the exact same items and it comes down to who really is the better player.

Like it or not, WoW is probably the closest to an e-sport MMOs have ever gotten and yes, GW2 plans to make their pvp an e-sport.
