Just curious, why is PL's catch phrase "World of Warcraft in your pocket"?

I've recently got to try WoW and PL is nothing like it. It's a whole different game. There's no open world, and you only gain xp in the range of 1-2. No offense, but it's just too different to compare. I always wondered about this...what do you guys think?

I don't think STS themselves coined this slogan, one of the game reviews did. That said, I don't blame them for riding on with the WoW name when they just started :p

Well, Pocket Legends was before Order & Chaos, which is way more like World of Warcraft. Although Pocket Legends was the first Massively-Multiplayer-Online-Role-Playing-Game for iOS. Which was when the phrase was stated, at the release.

So basically the main similarity is that they are both MMORPG's but PL is pocket sized...:o
Makes much more sense now.

First of all, i don't think sts considers that their slogan, a reviewer said that and second, at the time PL was released, it was the first of it's kinda, a 3D MMORPG set in a fantasy setting on the mobile platform, so it did share some characteristics with WoW

Yeah, the comment came from a review. But as Elly said, you can't really blame them for using it as an advertising tag at the time to get players interested based on WoW's wide-spread popularity and name recognition. I would have done the same thing.

If you played WoW before you got into PL you would see the why they said that....
