Hey I think this is pretty clear solution for messy graphics well atleast one part of them.
everybody keep saying that background is messy and even looks that figures are copy pasted on background so they dont fit there.

reason is because they tried make more realistic grass which is long. well that grass is too fat, blurry + way too long. if you go to your backyard and look your grass do you see that long grass everywhere?

here is example you can see how characters just floating on long grass. in many games if they use long grass characters legs go inside there and it looks good. games like oblivion but ofcourse its totally different camera angel so maybe we shouldnt even try use that with KR

Here is probably the best looking screenshot of UO KR and i wish that whole game would look like this. background, items, monsters, shadows, tress...almsot everything is perfect.

so do you guys agree with me? thats one big reason why graphics looks bad? would that 2nd screenshot look good enought that you would accept that looking UO KR? For me it does!
