The disapointment that is Alexander

It's not, but we can do this all day,

If it was a wow clone, pretty much every MMO after wow was created is also a clone, and anything new will also be, in addition to being an FFXIV clone, you see the pattern?

You may just be used to WOW if you played it for so many years, and everything you play after will seem like a clone, it happens to a lot of gamers.

I played the free trial of WoW 3 weeks ago. 20 levels was ENOUGH to see where the entire layout for FFXIV was pulled from.

Really? 20 whole levels? you must be so proud. they level up the same...and they have HP bars.. omg it is a clone! how on earth did i NOT see this, omfg.

Sarcasm aside, like i sad, we can do this all day, but you're free to believe whatever you like. i don't want to merry go around again with this.

Yes, 20 level was enough to notice where the foundation for FFXIV was influenced by. From the hot bar and GCD functions to the way we queue up quests, are notified of them on the map and mini map, key enemy names high lighted, the mount quest is on the same level, same dungeon matching feature, etc. Even though I NEVER played WoW before FFXIV, when I played it, it literally felt like I was playing the SAME game just WoW now instead of FFXIV. I don't know if you can't see this or refuse to admit it, but it's true.

EQ2 came before WoW did.

The layout was the *exact same*, but with death penalities.
