4e IS like WoW...

[FireLance]

... which is a problem for those who think it should be like Second Life.

WoW? Just WoW?



IBTL!

Isn't this the whole "gamist vs. simulation" argument with computer-friendly non-Forge terminology attached?

Rumor has it (because I'm starting the rumor right here) Blizzard is buying up Hasbro shares. The new company will be called "Blizzards of teh Coast" [sic] and will publish the new D&D 5E online CCG. Simulationists will be shot. The revolution will not be televised... but it will be discussed ad nauseum on EnWorld.

IBTL! (or before it falls off the front page)

This is offensive! 4E is nothing like WoW, because WoW has Gnomes as a player race!

Not really.

It's just an observation that 4e isn't "too videogamey", it's more a question of which videogame you want 4e to be like.

Obviously, that's why it sucks! I wanted it to be like LotRO!

-The Gneech, whose elf champion destroyed over 100 oathbreakers in the fields of Fornost last night

 

[ExploderWizard]

Nah. Its more like City of Heroes where everyone wears a fantasy costume.

You wanted it to be like WoW with JRRT lore instead of Azeroth stuff?

Sounds like a campaign supplement issue to me.

 

[ProfessorCirno]

WoW, LotRO, whatever - just so long as it's not that god awful DDO

Related and possibly horrifying, White Wolf is planning a WoD MMO...
