Did anyone else see the new screenshots for uo and say danG that is going to be sick?Or was it just me because i love the direction they went graphic wise was a good compromise nothin super fancy up to date like NWN 2 or anything but kinda like baldurs gate 2.I dont know im jsut excited they are finally going to change it and not just leave the terrain the same and make chars/monsters 3d.

I have not been a fan of 3 D in any game... but this new setup they are previewing to us looks pretty good. I am open to having an ingame look at it.

It looks like a cool blend of 2d and 3d.

I think it is going to be off the hook. Everything we love about UO, with a nice finley tuned polish on top of the already off the hook game engine.

I am not a user of 3d either ,but this new 'look' is very pleasing on the eye I cant wait for it to come into being.I am sure I will have no problems adjusting

I do prefer to play in 2D but this does look good..........

going to have to update something though to get it to work on this comp......
hope its just more RAM memory

My only concern is that Mages not end up looking like Ewoks, as they do to me in the graphics thus far. I will not be an Ewok Mage. Ewoks are fine but I don't want to play one as a Mage.

I'd have no problem with it if it were an option, but unfortunately for some of us, EA has chosen to not go the dual client route.

You might look at Tiger Direct's specials when you go to upgrade. They tend to have really nice bundles, overstocks, et cetera from time to time:

Another really good, good source for hardware is eBay. You have to scrounge to get good deals on new, unused components but if you're willing to scour dozens of pages, you will find some really great deals.

The devs said that you wont have to upgrade to the new client if you dont want to. They also said that it will require more processing power but not as much as the newer rpgs out there. I think your computer will probably run it if your comp it less than 3 or 4 yrs old.
