Opening a can of worms here. WoW clone lmao!

[quote]Yoshida san has openly stated that his team studied WoW's mechanics as the dominant MMORPG at the time, implementing what they learned to rebuild the game. However, he also emphasized adding unique elements and not simply copying it, as he wanted to create a unique and successful game in its own right[/unquote]

Frankly I don't like WoW, I did play for the free month and quit. Left FF11 and hideous 14 1.0 for Aion, back to ARR. Still loving this game.
