While i was waiting for my brother to get of my computer to play some GW, i saw that he was in the "cash shop" for maple story, he was looking at weapons he can buy for real life money( i have no clue) and i saw something that made me say, what the hell.

Maple Story stole the FDS from GW, Picture Related

what is going on and can GW/NCsoft do anything?

yeah but a sword with a dragon with flames coming out of the mouth?, it looks alot like the fds...lol

A flame sword isn't a very original idea. It's not just Guild Wars' idea.

...and "stealing" ideas isn't illegal.

Flame sword was from final fantasy as I recall

<sarcasm>A sword where the blade is flames coming out of a dragons mouth;

It's so original, I'm glad Guild Wars thought of it first!</sarcasm>

GW should steal the bouquet and pink angle sticks as weapons. I think that the latter would make for an omega cool scythe.

Wait...which OTHER games stole from GW? As far as I know, GW uses the same cliche MMO stuff that every game uses...

I'm sorry, but if thats what an FDS looks like when you're running GW, its seriously time for you to update your vid card.

And while you're at it, get your brother to stop playing Maple Story and paying money for a bunch of pixels(and ugly ones at that).

Items from the Cash Shop aren't (which, by the way, are what we're sort of discussing up in hurrrr).

o.O I thought it said Equip. Upps guess I was looking at it wrong. Oh well, that is why I never played Maple Story. DE would know better then me.

Fiery Swords have been around since someone in D&D thought'd be cool, if not longer.

They are not possibly unique to GW, despite the graphical design similarities.

And Maple Story is pretty Lol, but that's another matter entirely.

Oh, ehm, I know, Diablo 2 stole our IDS!!!

;d

I dont think this is anything to be concerned about.

Pleikki · Mar 02, 2008, 08:30 AM // 08:30

Nah lol what about NEcromancer warrior etc? Who made em first? gw did stole em!

Look at the handle of that flame tongue.
Then look at this:

It's a bit amusing that no-one see the pretty obvious similarity there, but a lot of people claim that this:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:Elemental_Sword.jpg
is a direct rip-off of this:

Actually, its from mythology and religion, therefore everyone can use it. The only way its stealing is if they use the exact same graphic the fds in GW uses, and that Maple story flame sword is far from it.

The only thing the Maple Story sword doesn't have is the rigid blade sections of the GW FDS. I saw immediately the dragon mouth hilt similarity.

eitherway, ripoff or not, it all plays the same. ^^
