I did a bit of googling but all I can seem to find out is that yes it is indeed a blatant wow ripoff, created due to blizz leaving the Chinese market. Since they couldn’t access the OG anymore, I guess they decided doing a copy-paste job was the next best thing.
Anyone got any direct experience with it? Has it already evaporated into the ether?

Looks like creeping pay-to-win.
They are also optimizing so mobile players can play the game, so I imagine I would find it boring with little complexity.
The article above says as much: It’s a mobile game first. Meh, not interested in that type of game.
But yeah they’ve certainly taken a lot from wow in terms of style etc, but I mean what post-WoW MMO hasn’t?
