World of LordCraft Rips Off Blizzard's Franchise?

[ivan_chess]

Just rename the game to Land of LordCraft (LOL) and there won't be a single lawsuit.

Looks like a Evony/TribalWars/Travian ripoff

 

[Darkerson]

This looks like another Evony /Kingdoms of Camelot clone. Blah!

Some of you must be blind to not see it's a blatant ripoff of World of Warcraft. I don't see anything that can be sued over though. Oh well, I don't care.

 

[splatternuts]

on the first of april your going to go to worldofwarcraft.com and they are going to shout out APRILFUCKINGFOOLS. just wait.

[aletoil]

I dont know who holds the rights to Lands of Lore but i bet they wont like your proposed name.

B.T.W.: i would love to see a new Lands of lore game

 

[hemelskonijn]

Oops i got my classics mixed up a lands of lore game would be awesome however i was thinking about legends of kyrandia and that would be even more awesomer! 😀

the trailer on the page says "never surrender you freedom"
grammar fail!
lol

 

[calmstateofmind]

fail.

 

[katmandude]

have you even gone to see their site? the whole thing screams rippoff at every corner : races same, pictures depicting the races are a clear ripoff from WOW. buildings almost 😛 . Map : most of it 😛. strange! really strange!

[citation][nom]tat2demon[/nom]Im sure naming it this is for exactly whats happening now. Name it similar to WoW, story gets picked up and spread among all gamers, Blizzard threatens lawsuit, name changes, and they get all the free advertising they could hope for.[/citation]

I'd have to agree with that, I see no other advantage of doing something like this. Its just asking for a lawsuit from Blizzard, they used the same names for half the map, its a verbatim copy of the Warcraft universe.

[citation][nom]CoderDunn[/nom]I remember reading somewhere that this game is owned by they same bunch that made Evony >.>Edit: Found it http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x [...] -Lordcraft[/citation]

That does not surprise me at all.

 

[sliem]

Super cheesy echoing voice-over, complete with grammar error, WoL will never surrender you freedom.

Also, the human face is Arthas ripoff.

 

[blackmancer]

SERIOUSLY!! WHO DOES THE EDITING AT THIS PLACE

"It name itself sound way too familiar to be legal."

you're not speaking chinglish are you? this is becoming a problem as I have seen a number of articles recently that have spelling and grammar mistakes.

Poor journalism Tom

@ Anonymus, jeese, L2Read!! The factions are the same, horde and alliance, the name is almost the same, World of ----Craft,the maps are the same, ''the barrens'' ''Stranglethorn Vale'' 'Moonglade' 'Blasted Lands' 'Swamp of Sorrows' 'Dragonblight' the Lore is the same!! Jesus christ, they gotta sue them for this shid.

They forget to register domain again, and somebody did for that company from new EpIC FAIL

 

[Guest]

The game has bugs that can be exploited to create massive armies, thousands of times larger than the average player can possibly create in a lifetime. WoL does not seem to care and has not corrected the problem or removed the exploited accounts.

If you are not a hacker privileged to know the exploits, stay away
