Yes.. it smells like bad adobe. I actually like the new client very well, I understand it's not finished of course. however i am having the most troublesome time distinguishing different items, and if it's a new one I have to log into UO2d to see what it "really" looks like or my imagination runs wild

That is a problem for me too. I have to log into 2d to "see" what an item is. To me thats awful. How are we suppose to enjoy a client with supposed great graphics when we cant even tell what items are. I dont want to be rude and ignorant towards EA but I think they did these graphics a little to fast and released the KR client way to early.

I had friends that beta tested UO when it came out and about the only bugs they ever really found that were bad were syntax in the code. The origional 2d graphics when the game was first made were perfect. And at the time UO emerged (1997) The graphics were not the best but great for loading an online game.

While some things in KR I find rather impressive, some things make me want to cry. The runebooks and runes are one of the things that make me wanna cry . However I think my character Perrin looks quite dashing in his ringmail armor and kilt!

KR has a lot of potential, but will things turn out for the better or the worse? The coin is still in the air and only time will tell what side it lands on.
