I don't think that the point was that the sorcerer is like a mage in WoW. I think WoW was just a placeholder for a comparison. As far as I know, the mage in WoW is probably as close as it gets to the sorcerer and the thread was meant to see in how many ways are they different, if any. But I do agree that the choice of words were indeed wrong, it wasn't so much that other MMO's copied WoW, it was WoW that took the idea from RPG's from whenever it started.
Are they going to be similar? Of course, why else would it be called a sorcerer (which is just another word for a mage)? Sorcerers and mages have characteristics that make them what they are, otherwise they wouldn't be called that. Now considering that both games have PvP elements to it, I don't see how having snares and slows wouldn't be a requirement for a class that can't take damage. All in all, it's a pointless thread.
