    I'm not sure I'd say Pre-cu SWG or Eve are far removed from the type of combat you find in games like WOW.

    WAC is a mix of DDO and DF styles.

    I dont understand this thread. Probably more than half of these games are nearly identical replicas of original MMORPG classic combat a la EQ (which WOW copied so successfully). I think many of the games listed here are listed simply for being different from EQ/WOW, which is a much broader differentiation than only measuring different combat implementation.

    Darkfal has aiming.

    GW2 has dodge, and not sure about cooldowns. also no friendly aims. Tera also aim based.

    Eve is a Afk friendly game.

    Aion uses click to move and auto follow. also the combat is much more slow and afk like.

    In EQ you can only use 8 spells during combat. In WoW you can use all of them. Huge difference.

    Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.

    Options and combat functionality are two different things. An FPS is still an FPS whether it offers two guns or twenty-two of them.

    DarkSpace has distinctly non WoW/EQ style combat. I would argue that Eve does not belong on this list as it uses very similar combat mechanics in terms of 'skill' use.

     Strange. I wasnt aware WoW/EQ utilized things like lock on mechanics for multiple targets with different locking speeds & distances,  weapon effectiveness being determind by velocity, range, direction, shield & armor strengths & resistances, and about a dozen other things that seperate EVE combat from a WoW/EQ style.

    About the only thing they DO have in common is the fact that you press a key/click your mouse to use a weapon/skill.... but then again thats the case with every game.
