[Explained] Why other MMORPG's 'copy' World of Warcraft? (Part 2)

Welcome to Why other MMORPG's 'copy' WoW? part 2!
I wont write anything unnecessary so lets get back on where we stopped and continue.

Gameplay:

OK about the gameplay, just to tell you that i wont post anything like you read in part 1, i mean the 1on1 match comparison.

Here are some my thoughts about gameplay of World of Warcraft and MMORPG's globally:

First, if a game is called a MMORPG then you must know that its or action game in third person view, or its targeting based game also in third person view.
So you cant tell for a game that its a WoW copy if it got same aspects as WoW does.
For example thats the same if you tell for a sport game like NBA 2K and NBA Live, they dont 'copy' each other, its just the type of game.
Same as Call of Duty and Battlefield, they are both first person shooters and they are not copying each other, they are just the same type of game.
That is what im trying to explain in whole this post, you CAN NOT tell for a game that it copies another if they are just same type of game.Amen.

Now the gameplay in WoW compared with Everquest is almost the same but it feels different because of game engine and graphical style.
Combat, guild system, achievements and all other are 'copied' from EQ which means that all games copy EQ not WoW because its older than WoW.
But im not here to promote EQ across the internet, they are just same types of games and thats it.
This post isnt meant to be a EQ vs WoW but i took EQ just as a example because its older than WoW.

Main point about gameplay is that they arent copying each other, they are just same types of game and thats it. No copying.
___________________________________________________________

If you look to Aion and Guild Wars, compared to WoW they look very similar at first view (on screenshot for example) but they play completely different and are a different experience for a player.
About UI (user interface) you will find almost the same identical interface in every MMORPG, because its just the way how MMORPG's work.(same as FPS's they got crosshair and health bars with ammo shown)

I hope I cleared your mind in any way, and i also hope that you (those who read this post) wont post stupid things like ''Ahh another WoW copy , i wont play it'' and things similar to that, because thats just stupid.

[Explained] Why other MMORPG's 'copy' World of Warcraft? (Part 1)

OK, things that made me to make this post are mostly bubbles which you can find on any web-site which has something to do with MMORPG's. YouTube is also full of those comments like : ''Ahh another WoW copy,what a fail'' and so on.
These are just few of reasons why I want to write this post including the one which refers to newcomers to MMORPG gaming.

So, why are other MMORPG's copying WoW?
Read the whole post and you will find out!

First of all we must see how the game which everyone is copying has been made, and when.

Here is an answer: Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on September 2, 2001^. The game was released on November 23, 2004, on the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise. (Quoted from Wikipedia)

So the game is released in 2004, now lets see if there are any similar games to WoW which have been made BEFORE 2004.
Believe it or not, I found a game which is very, I mean very similar to WoW and its been made before it.The name of that game is Everquest and here is the proof also quoted from Wikipedia for you just to see that im not lying:

EverQuest, often shortened to EQ, is a 3D fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that was released on the 16th of March, 1999.

Now I will try to post similarities of those two games just to show you that WoW isnt so original as people think :

Races : 

Everquest :
Barbarian,Dark Elf,Drakkin,Dwarf,Erudite,Froglok,Gnome,Half Elf,Halfling,High Elf,Human,Iksar,Ogre,Troll,Vah Shir,Wood Elf

World of Warcraft : 

Orcs, Taurans, Trolls, Undeads, Blood Elf, Humans, Gnomes, Dwarfs, Night Elf, Draenei, Worgen, Goblins
___________________________________________________________
Similar/same Races: Elves,Humans,Gnomes,Trolls,Dwarf,Orcs(Orges)

Classes:

Everquest:
Warrior,Shadow,Knight,Paladin,Beastlord,Berserker,Monk,Ranger,Rogue,Wizard,Magician,Necromancer,Enchanter,Bard,Cleric,Druid,Shaman

World of Warcraft :
Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue,Shaman,Warlock,Warrior, Death Knight
___________________________________________________________
Similar/same Classes:
Mage,Paladin,Priest,Shaman,Druid,Ranger,Rogue

Graphics:

Everquest:

World of Warcraft:

If I may say, the graphics are the most different thing between those two titles. EQ has more realistic looking graphics, and WoW has more cartoony-style looking graphics.
I dont see any similarities between graphics with these two games except UI (User Interface) but that will be discussed later.

BIG CREDITS TO MMOHUT.COM FROM WHERE I TOOK THE SCREENSHOTS.

[Review] Alliance of Valiant Arms

Overview:

A.V.A is an action first person shooter with some little tactical aspects.
Its gameplay and graphics attract tons of players who are searching for a good FPS.
There are a lot of players now but the number is constantly raising.

Graphix:

You wont find better graphics in any other F2P FPS or maybe some of single player titles too. Everything looks detailed and so realistic that you wont believe that you are playing a free game.
Effects are good too,bomb explosion,smoke,even when you shoot you will be able to find your bullets on floor so i dont need to mention anything more.
Only thing i that we can say its bad is physic. To be precise there is no physic but to make you happy its really not needed in a game like this.
So for graphics i give 4,5 because of physics lack.

Gameplay:

One word to describe the gameplay : Perfection.
Everything is so smooth and glanced even when you are loosing it wont make you bored.
You can choose to be one of three classes in game and every class have its own gameplay.
The classes are Sniper - you know what sniper do, Rifleman - uses assault rifles to take down the enemies from distance and close combat too but if you want to kill without touching your opponents ass then take this class, Pointman - thats close combatant so you run in your opponent and feed him with bullets and make sure he is not hungry.
For its hot gameplay i give 5,0 stars,deserves it without discussion.

User Interface (U.I.)

OK isnt perfect but does its job.In game everything is ok but the health bar and ammo are a bit small so its not for everyone, to be honest i dont even look how many bullets i have in my magazine and same thing is with health,i dont have time to find it.
In lobbies its good but you need some time to adopt to it.
So for simple UI with small problem of smallness i give 4 stars.

Sound

I must give 5 stars righ' on beginning of sound review.
EVERYTHING have its sound.
Your avatar and other players will start screaming if they are scared and will tell you if there is a bomb on a way to your mouth same if they are throwing it to opponents.Same thing is with your avatar you dont need to press any buttons to warn your troops if you throw a grenade tough you have an option to use some special voice actions. And yea there are two languages which change with your side EU-english, and NRF-russian.

Environment

All environments are different and there is no similarity between them at all.
Tough there are only few maps for all game modes: Annihilation-Thats basic game with two sides fighting each other until reaching a specific number of kills.
Demolition Mission - the classic mode with bomb and bomb location.There are two sides where one needs to plan the bomb and guard it till the big boom happens and second team needs to stop em by of course killing, we dont want to throw potatoes in FPS game dont we?
Escort- You got a tank which needs to be transported to a specific location so you need to protect it from other team.If the tank is destroyed you need to repair it. There are two rounds,in first round for example you escort a tank and in second you must stop it from reaching the destination.
Team with more meters passed wins.
Convoy - similar to Escort just you need to transport an object not a tank.
Domination mode - very complexed to explain so you will need to try it.
Free For All Military Drill - Kill everything you see.
4.5 stars because of maybe small number of maps.

Additional:

Tons of achievements including medals, ribbons, badges and who knows what more.
Great A.I. missions like Prison Break and more will take your breath away, you will think that you are playing a high quality single player game which costs over 100$ .
Weapon customization is great same as number of weapons and armors with full detailed shape.
There is a lot of more stuff so come and check, and i hope the review is OK.

Overall:

4,80 stars from me.
