Unfortunately Necoo most of what you said is wrong, or taken to an extreme level that was not implied in the GI article.

1. The Combat is, if anything, more of a Guild Wars 2 then a WoW clone. Gameplay elements spoiled due to length.

Spoiler

According to the Game Informer scans the game has

-A limited skill bar, like in GW and GW2, so you cant have have like 10 skillbars all over the screen with all of your skills on them like in WoW

-A Stamina mechanic that allows you to
--Sprint
--Block
--Interrupt
--Break some forms of paralysis
They say they are doing this to give players more self-responsibility to try to help break the trinity DPS/TANK/HEALER that other MMOs, like WoW, use. Quite similar to GW2 and its dodge mechanic that uses a stamina bar.

-Classes can combine skills, like a rouge's oil-slick, and a mage's fireball, can make a firewall. Again similar to GW2.

-Weapons determine your first two skills and you have a special finesse skill, similar to how GW2's weapons determine your attack skills and you have a dedicated elite skill.

-There is apparently no aggro mechanic, monsters use combat tactics that a player would use, and dont just sit around waiting for someone to attack them.

-It has a hubless quest system, so no going to towns to load up on quests

-There is a form of fast travel, and the compass with map markers are in the game.

Count how many times I mentioned guild wars, then count how many times I mentioned WoW

2. They said SOME areas will require you to level up to get into, not most as you so imply.

3. They said SOME areas of Tamriel, like winterhold will be closed off at launch. There NEVER once said MOST, or even a large number, of areas would be.

Here a little more info I found

There is no rumor and conjecture about it being a WoW clone. It is. Paul spends 10 pages of the article telling readers how the game sacrifices TES tenets to duplicate WoW.

Except every single combat feature listed in the game informer article, besides having a hotbar, is something NOT found in WoW.

It is pure rumor.

Read the article

i fear a WOW clone, but hope for a damn good TES MMO. dunfortunately it seems to be the first one, at least if judging by the rumors.
if it turns out as a WOW clone then i wil simply walk past it, and if it turns good then i wil ine up to get my hands on it!

let us wait and see, and hope for the best

I probably won't play this. One of the reasons I like the Elder Scrolls is because it is single player ever since Arena. But, it will probably be fun for a lot of people that are new to the ES series. I played WoW and EQ for awhile but, never liked them as much as ES. The coop sounds awesome. To just log onto a small server and play with like 4 other people. I do know one thing... the total atmosphere and game changes are just not the Elder Scrolls anymore. Arena got me playing them. This online thing will prob be nice for newbs. Live long and prosper.

Yea that was Michael. I am looking forward to this.
