... Eeeexcept for the fact that only the instruments (most of them, at any rate) and key. The melody's significantly different, WoW's theme has a faster tempo, Baldur's Gate's uses higher octaves and more vocals than, and if you listen closely the bass line actually is different.
I mean, Baldur's Gate is completely original, too, isn't it? Oh, wait... There was this guy way fucking before Baldur's Gate... I think his name was Tolkien? Wrote a few books... guess he never really did get too famous or anything, though...
Well, the Warcraft series was, actually, going to be developed as a Warhammer RTS but Blizz changed it somewhere in Alpha or earlier. But that's beside the point...
So what? LoTR had orcs that fit that description. M:TG has orcs that fit that description. FFXI has orcs that fit that description. The early FF's have orcs that, albeit without as much lore as that, fit that description. Baldur's Gate, Morrowind, Neverwinter, and D&D all have orcs that fit that description. Nearly every fantasy game ever made has orcs that would fit that description. I just don't see why you're singling out WoW rather than all fantasy RPGs in general for ripping off eachother.
