Too complicated. Well, it was in the beta. I'm not talking about bugs and stuff, but the monsters and running. Just not good enough for me.
looks like a direct ripoff to WoW. Just better graphics.
I'd rather just play WoW. Since it's a 6 and soon to be 7 year old game and is much more perfected and balanced.

And that is why it will always be the most popular until it goes down.
[QUOTE=The golden;27477537]it's basically a WoW clone.[/QUOTE]
While I'm excited for neither, those features don't say its a WoW clone. Simply having those features doesn't make the game the same. Thats like saying "Features for Team Fortress 2: Online multiplayer action, Customizeable loadouts, shooting people, voice chat, text chat, up to X players" Vs. "Call of Duty X: Online multiplayer action, Customizeable loadouts, shooting people, voice chat, text chat, up to X players" makes it the same or a rip off.
Guild Wars has pvp, guilds, dungeons etc etc too but plays way different from WoW.
While the game might be mostly copied and the same feel (don't know, didn't play it) simply judging by main traits that all of the games of this genre should have in common in order to be exciting, isn't the right way.
In the end game, some builds will be the best for raiding etc. so the whole " BUILD OF CLASS D=D=D=D=D==D=D=D" dosent work endgame

Well said, I'm tired of everyone going "WoW clone!!!" or "EVE clone!!!" every time a new MMO comes out. It gets on my nerves.
I've been playing it for like 3 testing events and It's actually quite okay, I mean it's polished and all.
But I'm definitely not buying it.

I'm not seeing the problem,

Basically, why should I pick this dead, beaten horse over the others?[/QUOTE]
Thats a better way of putting it. Because "wow clone" only angers people without getting your point across.
I agree, they fail to answer your question in the trailer which is a no go. Why would I want to play this if there is something else that did a very similar thing for ages with a larger, constant userbase and lots of content?
The next MMO I am waiting for is Guild Wars 2, which did quite a great job separating itself from the competition.
I too didn't get the point of why I should spend money on this monthly. It would be a different thing if it was base purchase + free. That would give them at least one thing separating them from the current market leader.
Even if it has things speaking for it, they should make it clear from the start, otherwise we might as well assume they only offer what others are already doing better.
Waaay too many (and too big) effects. And the animations look forced :/
I've played the beta for this. It's actually really,really good.
Canceled my WoW Sub for this.

Thats another factors: Longevity.
People also cancelled their WoW subscription for Age of Conan, Champions Online and Warhammer Online, and we know how those ended up.
Looks like the same as any generic fantasy MMO out there.
