Never mind that The9 have lost the contract to run World of Warcraft in China to a rival firm. They’re going to compensate by releasing a new game! Which…looks a lot like World of Warcraft.

Far be it from us to accuse the The9 of engineering their own cheap Chinese knock-off here, but…OK, we will accuse them. Just look at that logo and colour scheme above, from the game’s teaser website! Shameless.

UPDATE – Some commenters have pointed out that the above picture looks a lot like a Chaos Gate, from Mythic’s Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The9 need a replacement MMO for WoW, and EA (who publish Warhammer Online) own shares in The9. Draw your own conclusions from that.
