taken from thread LOOK AT THIS NOW!!!!! (New UO client!!!)

This is absolutely wonderful. Those graphics are the best in a game i have ever seen. Cant wait to see how it looks live. This is far better than any "eye candy" they could ever give us.
As for those people who are boohooing this then all i can say is "Go play another game and let us have our fun". I have a feeling that alot of folks will be coming back into the game once they see the new graphics. And the fact that we keep everything we have and can continue with our game with better graphics is just terrific in my book. Well i will be around to see this happen. Sorry for all those who bailed out early.
Great Job!!! and keep up the good work.

Technically, you can already do that with the current client, thought the legalities (<-word?) are questionable.

That's because it is. I bet you can find that exact spot if you try.

New Graphics reminds me of Icewind Dale which is fine, i love the IWD series

ok how many grahpic designers did EA poach from Bioware and/or Black Isle Studios?
hehe

Maybe those DAOC programmers did the trick?

This was in production before EA bought Mythic.

Screenshots are in 1024x768.

And it looks like if you oom in, you won't lose detail!

WOOHOO! They listened!

Thank you Dev Team for supporting higher resolutions!

Can't wait to hear more of the details, see more of the models being used, etc.

If this isn't the "big announcement", God only knows what else lies in store!

You have no idea how true this is. The Environment team (which CatHat is a member) has done a unbelievable job on the environment so far. Honestly, it's no lie that I could just sit there and look at the environment BY ITSELF for hours on end. The terrain and buildings are simply stunning.

Hey - good eyes!

Yeah - its actually a nifty new system using the best Dev tricks and techniques to get the terrain very natural.

As we develop more - you guys will get to see how really sweet it is!

From what I've seen of the Unicorns, I was in awe. I want the new ones now!

hehe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hahaha another one to put on the back of the box LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

well as you said you can see the nipples. I would say if it was a female demon she would have to be a steroid using, weight lifting demoness. Or demons just aren't proportioned like human females?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe not. This is why I am interested! There are certainly no dangly bits, even with the sword obscuring something would be visible. All we know is it has nipples, a belly button, and no bits. This could be very important, for all we know there are no female daemons left, and their kind is endangered! People should stop hunting them, and build daemon wildlife preserves!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps its dangly bits are hidden behind that conveniently placed sword?

I wanted to name it the "Sin Sword".

Pun intended.
