I mean this "point" by you is fucking stupid because really Pong is influential on Persona 5, Breath of the Wild, etc. Thats the point you are trying to make..........I agree it's fucking stupid. So you agree that WoW was influenced by EQ then! And yes Warcraft had WAY more influence on WoW then EQ (or Ultima or Asheron's Call, etc) did. Otherwise WoW wouldn't have exploded. MMOs were all niche before WoW. Add the Blizzard factor, the Warcraft IP, and WoW explodes. Warcraft caused WoW to be absurdly popular For me personally this wasn't it at all. I was fascinated by the idea of an online RPG but never got into one before WoW. In fact most of my buddies and guild members didn't even play wow. I think Warcraft had as about as much impact on the success of WoW as the original GTA did for the success of GTA 3 or 5. They are two completely different games. If IP alone was what made it successful then you would have seen Star Wars Galaxies, Final Fantasy 11 have raging success on the same level. I think all of those IP's were significantly bigger than Warcraft when they launched their MMO's before Blizzard launched WoW. World of Warcraft took that concept and made it accessible and approachable. <cite>wildstrike1516 posted [p:878891319] in Best year ...
