This is a read only copy without any forum functionality of the old Modcraft forum. If there is anything that you would like to have removed, message me on Discord via Kaev#5208. Big thanks to Alastor for making this copy!
I also like his ideea BUT he is using the same engine, styles and graphics so is not big difference, is same as a new expansion, since Mists of Pandaria is comming, there is no point losing time makeing another one by the fans. I appreciate his work a lot but since there is nothing changed in the game beside the world i see no point in makeing it. Instead doing that he can just import entire wow on UT engine and change the look, that can be something interesting.
Now, let's be mature, if there will be a vanilla with same gameplay but with graphics from cinematics, will you play it again? For me the answer is YES, i want to have same feeling of playing, even same controls and anymations if my character, mounts and items wil have an extreme polished look like in cinematics. Or...if stormwind can have these graphics:
oops i meant these:
and ofc, i preffer to pay monthly subscription for that.
I left wow 3 years ago now after 4 years of hardcore play. Since then i have to admit that i tried almost all mmos on the market and never found something adictive like wow was and that just because vanilla' gameplay, nothing else. My main reason i left was bad style and dated graphics followed by expansions that made game really stupid and pointless. I bet there are maybe millions of guys like me who will pay to play again maybe for years some kind of vanilla wow with HUGE improved styles and graphics. I played Priston Tale 2 just for graphics and i was amazed but i left it because of bad gameplay.
You are more than right BUT think there are alot of people who quitted wow just because of dated graphics and styles...not to mention the expansions wich ruined the game completly. Remaking the game for them can bring some donations or even subscriptions that can compensate the time invested to recreeate the game as they like.
coping entire interface, terrains, objects, mechanics, characters, mobs, Npcs, etc, practically entire game as it is and then remodeling terrain, characters NPCs, etc with another more polished styles and graphics can be indeed a huge work but it works with some code modifications.
Sry for this Link, its not for people over 16/18 but its the point of this topic.
Nude wow, that's crazy lol:)) Howevery, i tought it was about making and RPGmmo with same gameplay and stuff and your link proves that is verry possible making it in a way more polished graphics and styles without blizzard can claim anything. Threre are also some mmos that runs on unreal engine with same gameplay, same controls and almost same interface as wow has. Check Priston Tale 2, verry similar as wow, the difference are just characters ,the world and ofc the graphics styles and graphics. It was also Elligium, more appropiate but it was shutted down because they launched tera and all players were transfered there.
Since you use another engine and NOT copy the entire game IDENTICAL on it is perfectly legal. All you have to do is retexture ALL of the game terrains, characters, everything, rename spells and some change them a bit like icons and colors etc because ALL of these are propriety of Blizzard. My advice is to rename locations, remodel the world maps in a realistic look, remodel characters in a realistic looks, entire armors, weapons , mounts, pets, NPCs, mobs etc then repack them in a new game. There are also "world of Lordcraft" game wich copy pasted all names locations and characters, loads of wow clones that used even same engine and nothing happened. If you want your dream comes true just recreeate wow game usning UDK but entirely change graphics and maps in realistic style ultra polished graphics and that will be ANOTHER game. Don't make any character look exactly like wow's characters, NPCs and mobs. Do that with terrain buildings and objects too and that is. You can keep character animations, spells since they are used in thousands game too.
