I have lost hope in MMO's - why is everyone so obsessed with making a WoW clone

__________________

Why do people keep using the 'wow clone' argument.

WoW is all about PvE content and small scale PvP.

And why in any industry do companies try to copy the huge success stories? I can't think.

Jumpgate Evolution and maybe Conan i think it'll be for me,only reason for Conan being that maybe it'll bring something new. Failing that it utilizes DX10 tech, so at least eye candy to keep me occupied.

It isnt a wow clone.

But to answer, WoW generates $100 million or so a month profit.

They just try to minimize the risks, but without the risks, you're simply accepting that you're just trying to have a little nibble of someone elses pie, rather than making your own super pork pie, which although could fail, any success would mean much more.

If you maybe make a pork pie with bramley apple in it, people will choose it over the plain pork pie for a change for a while, but you're not going to beat pork pie, it's pork pie. So, sometimes you gotta just make a beef pie and say "down with pork!"

..

It's lunch time and i haven't eaten yet, need pie.

If they made a cream pie I'd get back in to MMOs.
