Dwarf woman are never seen, they spend their time underground and are extremely rare (one third of dwarves are female) according to Tolkien…that kinda sucks.

well , i dont care but i think the DONT look-a-like, the beard doesnt match and see
that the LOTR character his beard splits at the end , the WoW character is a little bit greener and the nose is mutch bigger ,

and the clothing does also not match , the LoTR person wears a helmet the other doesn’t and the Wow character has a armor looks simular like crocodile skin the other doesn’t

Conclusion , THIS PICKTURE IS A TOTAL FAIL

Dude, don’t be dumb. Every fantasy book ever written was inspired by mythology. No one said it’s the other way around. Every single book that can be included in D&D will have similarities, including games and movies.
BECAUSE THEY’RE BASED ON THE SAME THING – mythology or other fantasy worlds such as Tolkien’s, Forgotten Realms and so on.

The dwarves of old Norse mythology were pretty different from Tolkien’s ones actually.
The point he/she was trying to make was that Tolkien and Lewis were the first ones to describe them in any real detail.

So… the Dragons and other fantasy-type creatures in Norse, Anglo-Saxon, German, Indian, etc mythologies were invented by Lewis and Tolkien thousands of years before their births?

REALLY?

ALL fantasy characters are based on tolkien’s and c.s.lewis’ famous stories, you see no one had ever tried to describe them before that tim… i do mean all, dungeons and dragons, wow, oblivion, any storyline and/or characters that have those general descriptions or abilities are based on lotr sorry to be a buzzkill, just because the story is not the same doesn’t mean that the type of story did not come from the same source

The plural of elf is elves.

By: StupidMan

Anything that has dwarves and elves in it is mimicking Tolkien, since he invented those two words. In standard English, the plural of dwarf is dwarfs and the plural of elf is elfs.

By: ditte

And Tolkien took from mythologies. He didn’t invent dwarfs.
Don;t get me wrong, I’m a big Tolkien fan, but if we’re playing “who came first” then everyone has failed so far.

Always called snipes?
Right. In my 2 years playing, I have never been called a snipe. Occasionally people call me “bro” without knowing I’m a female player, I just set them straight and move on.

And I exist.

Turn off general and trade chat, and play PvE and you wont have to worry about the jerks.

but also, play Horde.

WoW, just so you know, is based on D&D. D&D is based on -GASP- Tolkein. Gary Gygax said it himself. So if YOU knew anything about WoW, then you wouldn’t feel like a dumbass now.

it’s all about archetypes .. characters are based on same things .. in this case the game character was based on the actual character he looks like.. other times characters look alike based on their being based on either similar archetypes, or even stereotypes…

all of those kind of fantasies (WoW, D&D, WFB, ect) are all basicly rip-offs of tolkiens work anyway, so i think the point is that he’s supposed to look like gimli.

LOL way to fail! Gimli’s character in the movie is based off of drawings made for the trilogy when the book first came out by Tolkien’s artists. WoW did not come out before Tolkien’s artists first drew Gimli when he first published the book.

I think you have WoW confused with LotR online (which IS based on LotR storyline). If you knew anything about WoW you’d realize that the only similarities are that there are dwarves, humans and elves, and a few of the classes include mages, and warriors. Which are all very common things in any mythology based game or story. Unless you mean to say that every story or game that includes dwarves, humans, elves, mages and warriors is mimicking LotR, and that mythology written before LotR is someone mimicking it too, which would be a whole other pile.

My god… so you mean to tell me that anyone that’s not looking in the same direction as someone else is not their twin!? Thanks for clearing that up: Two or more objects that are not looking in the same direction do not look alike.

if I’m not mistaken WoW came out before the movie, Gimli the book character and Gimli the Movie Actor look vastly different depending on who you speak to
