Its not really breaking any molds, but I dont think it is as strikingly similar to WoW as people make it out to be. First and foremost my interest in Aion is the Open World PvP, similar style to L2, except in a RvR manner, and just done better/upgraded. WoW is not about open PvP, it is about running instances, raiding and BG/Arena, you have to choose what you want to do. Raiding to me doesnt seem similar to WoW, there are open world bosses, you dont have to run an instance for hours to get to it, and they arent up for grabs anytime you want (ie: there is competition for the bosses, which is essential in a war/PvP based MMO). Then there is the mass PvP aspect, and done in a casual sense that you can group of anytime of the day, not to mention those Portal raids to enemy factions look fun as hell.
And about WoW I dunno..I mean approx 35 days ago a few ppl from my legion decided to play WoW again (me being one of them, but I gave it up around lvl 50 cause I couldnt stand the questing again)...2 of them already have s2 arena gear and it took them less than a month, not to mention they also have alts who are now almost lvl 70.
