Ervin that's not the point... I don't want to keep selling a game other than AoC here, so I'll try to make it brief. The point is, way back when, Blizzard wanted to make a Warhammer RTS. The deal between them and Games Workshop fell through. So they took the work they had done, changed things slightly (very slightly by the pictures you see above), and called it Warcraft. Games Workshop sued them, but they changed things just enough to not lose the case.
Enter World of Warcraft, did the culmination of thier thievery. The art style you see in WoW was around in the 70s!! Games Workshop has been using this style for 20 years when Warcraft came out. Now someone finally gets around to making a Warhammer MMORPG, and what.... should they now change what THEY created because Blizzard stole from them?
Besides the art style which belongs to Warhammer anyway, the basic premise for the game is very different. Warhammer is an RvR/PvP game from the ground up with PvE peppered in, WoW is a PvE game, with PvP put in after the fact (and an attempt to make it "RvR" like DAoC). The similarity is only in the graphics which Blizzard stole.
