STOP comparing AoC to WoW, they are two totaly different games. If you like WoW, play WoW. If you dont like WoW, stop bringing it up. FC product manager Erling Ellingsen already talked about this in an interview. He explains that AoC has no interest in copying world of warcraft and that FC is making a new and innovative game, not a clone. WoW II should be made by blizzard (someone forgot to tell the mythic warhammer team this).

Yes, how could he say something else? It's not like Erling is ever gonna say "we are trying to make a wow-clone".

Then look at the fundamental similarities. Remember that AoC is not trying to bring NEW players into the mmo-market. They are trying to take some of the already present. Funcom takes the safe way when they are trying to do that, and im NOT saying that is wrong. Look at other major mmo's recently released or coming soon. They are all very similar in the basic features and goals for the player. Funcoms aim with doing it the same way as others? To keep you paying. There is a formula that works, Funcom is using that formula. The graphics may differ. The combat may be a bit different. But fundamentaly they are the same games.
