Avahra Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 You'd think they'd be smart enough not to try and clone wow. Because how many have tried and failed miserably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I think I might play it for a month and visit all the cities then stop. The lore and the settings always make me want to play MMOs, but the gameplay always turns me away. This is looking to be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
