Is World of Warcraft a Rip Off?

Answer 1

well.... No one can say that World of Warcraft is a rip off of any game. Yes it takes many elements from many other mmorpgs, but it has it's own style and it's different from most of them. The only game that wow copied most it was from the Warhammer series. Most races were copied from them, because Warhammer appeared first, then they accepted to work with blizzard, but they argued upon many things, including the monthly subscribtion, so they left blizzard and made their own games. They launched their first game before blizzard did, and when blizzard saw that warhammer was a succes, they took many elements from it and put it into their games. Elements like the orcs, elves, dwarfs, the goblins and many other. The problem is that wow is not really a ripoff of any other mmo, but almost all mmo's out there are ripoffs of J.R.R Tolkien's book called Lord of the Rings.
