  To me Scars of Honor seems too much of a blatant WoW clone. The world is literally two continents like Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, the races look and feel almost the same. The cartoony styled graphics look like WoW.
  
  It just makes me wonder what does the game plan to do to differentiate itself from WoW? Surely, they don't expect people to play their game over WoW when there have been WoW private servers since 2004 and WoW is top quality for free (on private servers).

  I'm not a WoW player and I haven't dug into SoH enough to know what they plan to do to differentiate themselves. Even if the races, classes, continents, and gameplay are similar (or exactly like) to WoW, some people would give it a go just because it isn't Blizzard. Others don't want to use or don't know about private servers. But I do get what you are saying. Many MMOs tried to emulate WoW over the years and the ones that were too similar never fared well.

  Graphics are questionable, but they are certainly looking at the lore.

  Why not? A superficial similarity has as much chance to attract private server WoW players as dissuade them. Capturing the interest of some of them is quite possible.

  Perfect time to grab WoW players with literally nothing happening until DF.
