As expected, quality is a bit lacking.

But when the English-language Chinese blog Shanghaiist took a stroll around the park, snapping pictures and riding rides, they saw statues of plenty of familiar characters. They also tried out the rides, but noted that even though the park has only been open for two months, there are already very notable signs of decay, such as cracks in paint and rust on handrails.

Yeah, the link-dump strategy has gotten a bit annoying. Now go click the link!

At least, that's what I hear. 
I've played WoW on a friend's account a couple of times, but just didn't care for it.  I played 4E for about a month and liked it, but most of the rest of the group (the ones who play WoW) had the attitude of "If I want to play WoW, I'll just play WoW!"

On a slightly related note:

They also have bootleg Apple Stores.

I am uncertain if the products are bogus; the stores are fake (though the employees genuinely believe they work for Apple).

Timeline's wrong.  3rd came out before WoW.  And, IIRC, so did 3.5
also: 3E is a diablo clone

both are real products though.

hard to be more WoW-like then having WoW an actual WoW tie-in, regardless which one came out first.

as for actual timelines, Wikipedia states that WoW was announced a year after 3rd ed came out and was released the year after 3.5

obviously both products are heavily tied together, with the D&D dev team taking notes on what info the WoW team was releasing so they could make their cash grab 3.5 update compatible with WoW, which obviously worked since the WoW.

obviously

a quick google search gives me a bit more info: that particular Warcraft RPG supplement came out in 2003. in 2005 White Wolf gave us the 2nd edition of it... the WoW-compatible one.
