    Why in gods name does everybody refer to all modern day MMO's as fucken WoW clones, why not take it back to its original state and rather say that all bloody MMO's are infact UO clones including that kak game WoW!

    Luckily Guildwars can never be called a WoW/UO clone

    The sound alone will not make it "fresh", sorry. It a nice change that's for sure, but if the gameplay is indicative of ALL the latest MMO's, than it is stale.

    Pretty much all modern day MMO's post WoW ARE WoW clones! WoW took a genre that was not userfriendly and accessible and made it so. As much as I dislike WoW on many levels it changed MMO's in a HUGE way. These latest MMO's have vastly more in common with WoW than with UO. So the comparison is valid.

    WoW did not make MMO's, but it changed the direction in a big way.

    WoW isn't a UO clone =) Its an Everquest clone. Really the two "original" big MMOs were Ultima Online and Everquest and they both had a vastly different approach to the MMO experience. UO being sandbox and Everquest being themepark. Eve Online and Darkfall would be better examples of UO clones, obviously UO clones are few and far between.

    Anyway, people say WoW clone because quite clearly most MMOs that come out are not trying to copy Everquest, they try to copy WoW with its refinements to the themepark MMO and obviously fail miserably in trying to copy it success.

    i guess everybody has heard about WoW, it's more like a label. however i don't think star wars games can be anything like it!

    I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds more like someone is sour for losing his job.

    Yeah ... but movies and MMOs are two vastly different things. Every Star Wars fanboy would get hold of Episode 1 without question, but it doesn't automatically translate them into MMO players. If the game doesn't pull in enough subs it'll go Tabula Rasa on us ...

    MMOs are an ongoing commitment from the production house, whereas a movie, once completed, is done and dusted.
