Even have the UI is a direct ripoff of WoW, right down to the circular portrait border, Health / Mana bars, and the small circle for the level! I took one look at that photo and said "NCSoft made WoW?". It's rediculous.

The pumpkin patch looks much better in WoW. Those pumpkins are way too big and who the heck thinks that pumpkins grow half under soil?
Is this the actual retail release of the game, or are these just screenshots of something in development? If it's the latter than I don't see the big deal, and the similarities were probably "borrowed" to expidite the development process and will be replaced with something more original down the road. If it's the former, then it's a complete and total rip-off, but still not something worth worrying about. Lots of games rip off other games' design features. It's the backbone of the industry! Blizzard itself participates in the practice.
