Lol RuneScape??
As a dedicated player of RS for many years I was shocked to find how many things this game has incorporated from RS. Dungeoneering and Theiving were some of the similar skills I saw within the first few hours of game play so I can only assume there are more.

Not to mention the town in the sky called Moon something? Sounds just like the place in the sky in RS cough cough.. Moonclan Camp?

Originality is hard to come by now days, I just didn't expect it to hit me in the face this hard.

Honestly, all RPGs have been ape-ing off of D&D for decades.
Right down to levelling up, dungeon-crawling, races (including elves) and classes.

I've learned to live with it.

you have it backwards...

the neverwinter realm, and the items in it have existed long before runescape...hell, before 3d video games even...

Yes, Being someone who used to play Runescape when it just released over 10 years ago.I Know you're wrong. People have been playing DnD since before you was born most probably.

Also africa i checked your page if you was still curious as to why steam says you only have 3 games it due to the fact most of them are free to play.It counts the games you purchased with money only.Which is 3

i think all the mmos have been copied from runescape since MMOs got popular (WoW was the first to copy runescape for example, as it added "old gods" (similar to elder gods in runescape).

There are a lot more examples I could give but the most blatant copy was when they introduced Ravenholdt and thievery in WoW similar to Thief NPCs in runescape. What kind of game developer does that!! I love playing the assassin role (rogue) in runescape with my DDS and I haven't found any game to be able to recreate that role better so far.

fun fact, the lore for World of warcraft came from Warcraft, Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3, not to mention some of the books... 2 of the first ones being older then runescape...

The air of confidence in some of these guys misleading posts is astounding.

Nah, pointed towards op and the guy you quoted, they are just wrong but little humility in what they posted. I think you are right on and could take it a step further, there was no original to be copied off.

I started to care and wrote a long response explaining again why this game adapted similar content, but I just don't care.

You move with WASD so it must be a Call of Duty Clone.

Seriously, the terms "Dungeon", "Thief", and "Moon" clans/religions are just things. No one invented those.
