Apparently all MMOs in this world are a WoW clone to some people. Just because of WoW's huge success doesn't mean everything is a WoW clone. After all WoW was NOT the first MMORPG nor the only one in existence in the period it launched. WoW also copied some things from older games. There is no parthenogenesis in the videos games. Everything resembles or have similar features to others. And let's be honest we like this. The only thing 1.0 had better was the better quality textures and some effects. All the rest were crap and thus it failed. 2.0 and 3.0 are far better and the best ever storyline I saw in a MMORPG till now. ARR can improve on some things. I personally would like to see better quality textures cause now the game is nice only when you are sitting really far from the screen. If you play on PC the textures are horrible and especially in cutscenes the game looks like a game from 2004 era.
