MMOGames.com Presents: Top 5 MMOs that tried to be WoW and failed

#1 RIFT

And so we come to the end of today's little rant: RIFT. You've probably heard of it; it's new, fresh, funky. It even has a cool little catch-phrase: 'We're not in Azeroth anymore." Really?

i remember the time when mmos were very diferent, we had wow, ragnarok and lineage 2...

I disagree with the author on some of his points.

First off Rift is not a WoW clone. Just because you go ghost form when you die, don’t make it a WoW clone. If that is the case then WoW is an EQ clone.

WoW is a very good game, I enjoy it. But I also enjoy a lot of other games……

A fresh of breath air. Credible opinions here, people.

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
