When Making your Own Game Isn't an Option

What do you get when you cross outright copyright infringement and a complete lack of imagination? World of Lordcraft, that's what! This game looks to be for real, as the game's website talks about an open beta -- and yet, it couldn't be more of a rip-off of everyone's favorite Blizzard title starring orcs and humans [via Technabob]:

The site doesn't offer a ton of gameplay details, but it looks like it might lean more towards the top-down RTS Warcraft formula. More than likely, the "developers" of this game will have to deal with some major Blizzard aggro before they actually make it to release. It also doesn't help that the trailer is narrated by what sounds like a 12-year-old with a frog in his throat.

I want to build an UNPRECEDENTED epic castle.

"Never surrender you freedom..."

The terrible translation and voice-over quality lead me to believe that this is either fake or the world's lamest video game.

The first line in the story section: "Legend has it that long time ago Titans once came to this uncivilized continent."

Woah, really? long time ago?!

Think this will be a Chinese browser game.

I don't see any Blizzard aggro from this. It's obviously their new MMO that hasn't been formally announced yet.

Here's to hoping for Evony style LordCraft ads!
