Lineage II copying from WoW?

Recommended Posts

Since today i visited www.lineage2.com

Well i think ok, gracia has been released.

THen WTF! Instanced Dungeons:

http://www.lineage2.com/Knowledge/instanced_dungeon_main.html

 

All i can say, is yeah World of Warcraft had Instances from the begginings of the game.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/instancing.html

 

So the Vitality system.Yep another copy:

http://www.lineage2.com/news/gracia_01.html

 

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/resting.html

 

Just a cosmetic change but still:

Castle Sieges and etc. are now called BATTLEGROUDS.

WoW has the same but: Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and etc are called BG's too.That's pretty OOOLD.

 

Nothing much to say.

But let's remember the days of Kamael (When it was released.)

Gun's (xbows which were'nt xbows) were released.

Level 55 skill of Soul Breaker's:

Steal Divinity (Steals abnormal state of enemy.)

WoW mage spell:

Spellsteal (Steals a beneficial magic effect from the target. This effect lasts a maximum of 2 min.)

Not really a copycat but reaaaally the same effect.

 

Blink (again SB's)

Teleports you backwards while stunning and damaging nearby enemies. Consumes 5 Souls.

 

WoW mage Blink:

Teleports the caster 20 yards forward, unless something is in the way. Also frees the caster from stuns and bonds.

 

Now that's a copy.Just it's changed from forward's to backwards, and changed from releasing from stuns and bonds, to stunning and damaging.

 

 

 

 

Share your thought's about if LII is copying WoW.

And why yes or why no.

If you know something that could of been copied reply too :P.

EDIT: Just remembered,

They changed color's for item's:

Like WoW has: Grey,White,Green,Blue,Purple,Orange.

They changed the color's of items to color's depending on grade.

Like yeah almost the same, but it's just an cosmetic change.

Dude... seens 2003 (realse of l2) u think they will have alllll new ideas? ;P come on evry one has at least copy something from other games .. any way if it improves the game whats the problem?

 

[Also is not copy beacuse if it was the same the wow managers would take legal actions against korans and l2 managers would lose a lot of $ so i dont think its the same... (may be they pay for the rights to use it? O.o) who knows..]

u cant blame ncsoft for "copying" wow to improve their games. wow is a very good copy of l2 so why l2 cant copy wow?(even if in my opinion by doing this NCsoft ruins lineage...)

well if nc soft releases a new throne they need new things not just a little better graphics so they copy something from somewhere with new name and description i think this is normal they cant have some good ideas every 6 months

yea is not really copying, is adapting an idea to a game with great graphics, plus is not really nothing huge that would even deserve a demand from blizzard...or whoever owns WoW

chill out

    • Well, sorry not sorry for resurrecting old topic, but I believe it's ultimately stupid to implement license checks like Vilmis did 🙂   private static String url = "jdbc:mysql://185.80.128.233/" + getData("Zm9ydW1fZGI="); private static String username = getData("bXJjb3B5cmlnaHQ="); private static String password = getData("Y29weXJpZ2h0XzEyMw=="); con = GlobalDB.getInstance().getConnection(); PreparedStatement statement; statement = con.prepareStatement("SELECT field_6 from core_pfields_content WHERE member_id = ?"); statement.setInt(1, Config.FORUM_USER_ID); ResultSet rset = statement.executeQuery();   This awesome way of coding things leaves us with base64-encoded credentials and DB exposed and accessible globally 😉 Btw he checks his licensing data from some plugin generated table his forum uses. Vilmis took action and ensured that mrcopyright user would have only needed accesses and rights for this operation. But he forgot to ensure that his INFORMATION_SCHEMA database would not be exposed and readable... That leads us to fully readable server variables like version used (10.1.26-MariaDB-0+deb9u1 - pretty ancient DB and OS, I'd assume). From here you can go south and do some kinky stuff, if you want and have knowledge for that. But who cares, right?   Ooh, table core_pfields_content field_6 is IP address which is checked by FORUM_USER_ID. Yep, you can query all IP addresses there (124 of them right now) and also do whatever you want with them! 🙂  The most fun part? Files source has been shared what, more than 2 years ago?  Vilmis still uses very same credentials and never changed it after sources exposure - who cares. Although, "sources" may be way too strong word here. If anyone still use paid Orion versions, I'd suggest packing your shit and leaving immediately, or at least fix this incompetent fool caused problems. It's obvious Vilmis don't care or maybe doesn't even know from the first place how to solve this problem (hint hint - tiny PHP Rest API microservice which would do absolutely the same but without exposing sensitive data?). By doing that, he exposes his infrastructure and YOUR data, and he does that for more than 2 years now 🙂 Developer of century!
