World of Warcraft Preview

The website entitled Invisible Dream has posted up their preview of Blizzard’s MMORPG in the making, World of Warcraft. Here’s a snippet:

Providing a combat system more akin to Diablo than that of Everquest, the video footage released at ECTS showed epic battles between opposing clans and races. But while combat will be simplified, it will remain satisfying, attempting to find a middle ground between the pick-up and play appeal of Diablo and the rewarding play of a more traditional turn based RPG. While Blizzard have clearly demonstrated their mastery of simple gameplay (not a bad thing by any means), they will have their work cut out for them to appeal to the more serious RPG gamer.
