The game really is a melting pot of MMOs, They took the best stuff from many MMOs and have done neat things with it.
The UI is WAY more advanced then any base MMO out there. WoW wishes its base UI was this flexible and full of awesome. The actual UI elements and organizing is much more like Warhammer not WoW since its the same engine as Warhammer's I believe.
The game is clearly not trying to reinvent the wheel but learn form the great AAA games out there and copy from them all. EQ2, LotRO, Warhammer, WoW, those are all represented in this game, not just WoW.
Copying aside, it is really not a carbon of any game. It is very deep on its own and the more time you spend with it, you can see how much love and devotion these developers have put into it. There are many nuances and additions that none of the other games have yet.
I have found it getting more interesting as it goes along for sure. I felt is was amazing at level 1 however, so it might have grabbed what I want in a game more then others. I know that the game was not even on my radar till I tried Beta5 and after a couple days of play I knew I would not be returning to WoW or any other current MMO. Rift spoiled me way to much.
I agree that the platemail bikini was over the top. I always let my kids play with me for the character creation part. (they are too young to see the killing parts) and they commented "Daddy can we put some more clothes on her already??"
