On paper it is what World of Warcraft is — exploration and discovery, open world exploration, and multiplayer gameplay — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. To that it adds a third-person camera. They part company on setting and progression: this one brings a sci-fi setting and single-player focus.

With World of Warcraft it shares deep RPG systems, dark, oppressive atmosphere and open world exploration. Both also lean on a third-person camera and fantasy world. The distance is in combat and tone — its own ground is strong narrative focus and a sandbox world.
