come on people, there is no such thing as originality. Whatever you do comes from something else. Take warcraft for instance and how it rips warhammer, according to many.
I did see the screenshots and they do look like wow but why is that? It's the colorful settings and cartoonish style, the interface. So what.. world of warcraft is no innocent either. Take.. say... the dances. I saw a movie on youtube and it matched the dance of each character to somewhere else (movies and music clips).
Don't think blizzard can't do shit here. A game, specially an MMO, is not just visuals. The game may resemble wow visually, but i doubt it's as polished as wow. Many have tried and will keep to do so but wow has a secret formula that will take years before anyone even understands what it is. Lucky for me, i do, but just don't have the so-called '1 billion' to make it
