Why wouldn't people compare this to WoW? It's the biggest video game in the world, and it's the same (comparable) genre. People NOT comparing it to WoW would be more of a surprise.

Also, I don't see how SWTOR is WoW in anyway. From what I understand, SWTOR is heavily focused on the single player story and campaigns right? That's not very WoW.

Care to explain how you came to this conclusion?

As for the WOW comments, it's only natural that a lot of post WOW MMO gamer's only have WOW as their first MMO. WOW got most of it's inspiration from the leading MMO of the day which was EQ. They bough the questing you see today in most MMO to the MMO world and they also bought the UI's you see in most MMO''s today. EQ2 had problems and many EQ players moved over to WOW and also from other MMO's.

Right place right time was Blizzards secret even though WOW popularity didn't happen over night.

EQ was blizzards inspiration and hiring players from top EQ guilds.

TESO has things common with WOW as does nearly every other post WOW MMO, that's a fact. TESO is a themepark MMO just like WOW which is a themepark even though the actual world is more open that TESO.

i agree...

1.) will this be TES but Online ???
or
2.) will this be Online MMO with TES lore???

everyone says it will be 1.) ... so if there should be a comparison, than compare it with other TES games (at least in most cases)
IT SHOULD BE MORE COMPARABLE WITH TES SingleP. games than WoW....

actually, it's pretty obviously 2.

This guy gets it. ESO is going too far from the singleplayer games, some people just don't seem to understand it yet(like the op). It's going to have your normal gear grinding, raids and all that crap we see in every wow like mmo and thats why people compare it to wow and not the singleplayer TES games, it's much closer to WoW than Skyrim. Which is sad but i really wouldn't have cared about it if ESO was MMO with tes lore but... well, it's not even that really if they are taking this like khajiit sub-races out. But thats going off topic. Yeah it has a lot common with wow and people will compare ESO to it, mostly to show how much better ESO is in some areas but some odd people who want this game to be the "carebear" mmo it is also use it as an example for what it should do.

That's it and some people just can't except it.

ESO is a MMO first and foremost the rest is the lore or world it based on which is TES.

Well I can safely say if this becomes a gear grind mmo like WoW then I wont be playing it.
