goodbye and good luck to all my old friends and to all you newbies i have one piece of advice, unless your a retro arcade fan youll like WoW better.
farewell and ill see most of you in Azeroth soon

I doubt very much the devs and EA would go to all the trouble they are just to make the game look like some 90's upgrade.I guess Ill be staying around till its actually up and running before making my mind up one way or another

Graphics are an important part of a game, but i have bought and played my share of game that looked great but played like junk and offered nothing. I am happy w/ the graphics upgrade. Not the best I have seen but much better than they are now. As long as gameplay improves, then I am here for the longhall. For those people who complain about upgrading their systems; Nintendo went out a long time ago...lol.... a 90's system plays 90's games. You don't have to have the greatest system in the world; just a system that will let you enjoy all aspects of the game w/o complaint.

Kingdom Reborn's new engine means they can put it back into a shops top shelf and not be ashamed of the graphics shown on the back though - which combined with bragging about being a decade in action has to sucker someone out there into buying it and starting. Thus I think its good

I'll wait till I actually see the new graphics in action before I make up my mind.

WoW is cool, I played for about 10 months and got 2 level 60's (and many midlevels) and got real bored with the content and have canceled my account and still have my 2 UO accounts. I may go back to WoW eventually but have every intention of sticking with UO. The new graphics look like a good compromise from the 2D client. Have fun with Wow...I know it didn't last for me.

Any screenshots of it? I can't hit any of the other good sites from work here.... I remember the release of the 3D client before, and that was HORRIBLE. But I been spoiled lately with EQ graphics.

Tovladian Soltyr · 5th October 2006, 07:00 PM

I'm a Beta EQ player, Played on Karana for the longest time b4 it merged with The Rathe server. But I lost intrest in EQ after playing UO cause there were just more to do in UO that was less group oriented. With EQ if you don't have a party you pretty much don't have a game unless you want to Druid or Beastlord it up :/, I play a warrior as my main character and lets just say you can't do anything in EQ without a healer if you're a warrior cause you can't heal durring combat with EQ like you can in UO. UO is more Warrior friendly.

You needed to reroll to a necro. Kiting 1400 quadders is fun, and parsing 1k fairly constantly really makes the mages upset.

With the latest expansion they came up with a nifty effect, OOC regen, or out of combat regen. Basically 30 seconds after you are off aggro list with no debuffs you gain an insane regen rate for hp/mana/endurance. I can burn out 60k damage to a mob, kill it and be back in a minute instead of 5 minutes of resting.

umm this is UO not WoW so stop downtalking it, UO was around before WoW was even thought of. So what if it is diablo style graphics, we have good gameplay, better that WoW i think, and that is all that matters. Correct me if im wrong but wasnt UO one of the first MMO's created?

Hanse Davion · 11th November 2006, 11:40 AM

It is, arguably, the first proper MMO that proved subscription based online gaming could be a large-scale success. OSI pop that up every time someone wants a quick look into UO's past. People who're quitting for other games should really just say goodbye, maybe tell people which game they are going to and then heave ho tbh - we can already take a wild stab at why based on which game your going to
