Tbh you know nada jada diddely doo about that, you can look at it on many aspects "WoW is and came from warcraft" and IF they tried to get the licence for workshops so what....what were they planning with it? just have it to block other companies to make a mmorpg with it? who know's
Also WoW alfa did you see the wow alfa? you simply dont develop a game for months and months THEN get a theme / licence for it...so get real.
If they would happen you would have a Ultima online 2 "game closed"
2nd if you look in to past games, the overall open world pvp dont work.And there are quite a few exmaples of it UO,EQ,AC etc etc. in the end there be a small area/spot etc ppl go to pvp.
Sorry I can't read stupid.
Do you honestly believe all of this?
