[EDIT: Okay, so I'm a moron for not noticing that . Fine, maybe I was too hasty in passing judgement, and maybe the creators of World of Lordcraft intended for it to be a fan tribute to an awesome game. But taking elements from that game and bastardizing it like this is not the proper way to go about it.
And they still slapped Paine's face onto a whore's body for an ad. That's just STUPID.]
World of Lordcraft? . There are so many fucking aspects of this game that were ripped off from WoW that I don't think I can cover them all in one post. Let me just give you a run-down of what I spotted:
- They have an ad that has sprites that are ripped off from Warcraft RTS games. [Proof: Exhibit A and Exhibit B]
- They have two factions called the Horde and the Alliance. [Proof: Exhibit C]
- Their races are all pretty much the same as WoW (right down to the Naga who were "originally a branch of elf race", ), only they turned female gnomes into female dwarves. And they have uglier renders. [Proof: Exhibit D and Exhibit E]
- Their map includes places like Stranglethorn Vale, Moonglade, Dragonblight, and The Barrens. [Proof: Exhibit F and Exhibit... bah, just try searching those area names in and see how that turns out.]
There's a lot more where that came from, I'm sure.
How did I find out about this lame-ass ripoff of a browser game? Because of their ad that popped up on . Which, by the way, they probably ripped off from , complete with the "Start your journey now, My Lord" tagline.
Have any of you Final Fantasy players noticed anything yet? No? Here, let me spell it out for you:
IT HAS PAINE'S FACE SLAPPED ONTO A WHORE'S BODY.
To you idiots who developed this retarded browser game (as if we didn't have enough already): I hope AND sue your fucking plagiarist asses off. Can you imagine, getting sued by two of the most successful companies in the gaming industry? That would be epic.
[ADDENDUM: you may have noticed that I have not bothered to place any links to the World of Lordcraft website. I'd rather take the extra effort to take screenshots as "proof" than provide them with hits/clicks from my blog, thanks.]

Oh my gosh. I love you.
I saw this ad on WoWHead as well, and couldn’t believe my eyes. I screenshotted it. How dare they.
We seriously need more screenshots and posts about this shit. No one should be allowed to get away with such blatant plagiarism!
Plagiarizing both World of Warcraft AND Final Fantasy in the SAME so-called “game” is the biggest blasphemy I’ve heard in quite some time.
I already abhored the Evony ads and had a good eye roll whenever I spotted one (which was altogether way too often). Let’s hope they get sued and never created another thing. Ever.
Okay, hold on; they admitted to copying WoW and making an “extension” of it because they love the game but have no time to play. That means it’s okay now, right?
…
YEAH, RIGHT.
Yes. Of course it’s okay. Blizzard will definitely acknowledge it as a fanbased project and they will certainly allow them to use icons, images, game models and whatever else these people can think of to use! They just LOVE to give away all their hard work to people who aren’t even a fraction of their talents.
No excuse on the Final Fantasy of course though..
Lol.. eye roll.
…. lol, “Tauren”?
Yes. Real companies, please, sue these fucking morons.
The official forum for that ‘game’ is hilarious as well, practically every post is adspam.
EWW. That’s just pathetic!
