What do you guys consider a "WoW" clone? A game with quests, guilds, dungeons, and raids?
I mean, that's pretty much the basic mechanics of an MMORPG. WoW wasn't the first game to do what WoW does. Just because it runs on a similar system, doesn't make it the same game. Rift is a great example. Awesome game, but yes, so much like WoW. Though, it gives it's own twist to the genre and makes it fresh. People who think that all new MMO's that come out are all the same either
A) Are WoW fanboys
B) Aren't really into MMO's
To me, the setting and environment make all the difference, even the story. I'm not in Azeroth anymore, trying to kill the Lich King or Death Wing. So, it's new to me.
