Entropia Universe by far!Video speaks for itself.

That doesn't look good at all, I didn't realise you could make something running CryEngine 2 look ugly until now.

That Korean MMO was probably Aion. Great looking game, gameplay itself is alright, I suppose. Worth the free trial, at least.

In the end the most successful MMOs are always the mediocre looking ones. MMOs should not focus focus on graphics nearly as heavily as some FPSs, that'd only end up leaving a lot of players with low-end rigs unable to play.

Well AOC was more than pretty it actually had some interesting ideas but it was just not executed properly. Every other MMO has been a shameless WOW clone. Im pretty sure now almost every computer can run AOC and if you cant you should not be playing PC games.

Well not every MMO player is normally a computer gamer, or even a gamer at that. I have a few friends that play WoW casually, but have completely crappy computers.

I played C9 last year.

It looked great for some things but ugly for others.

Here was a video I made back in Nov fighting the last boss.

Not sure if they ever raised the lvl cap.

Indeed. Shinier, but less depth to the game itself.

Never played that game before. I heared that game could highley complicated, more strategic. :) I like WoW for its game depth and the open world. Used to play GW for a while, quited it beceause it got boring (constantly repeating actions). :)

EVE looks fantastic, and in future expansions they're releasing some new lighting for ambulation.

But isn't WoW just contanstly repetitive actions?

C9 is techinically impressive, however the way they have use it is just horrible looking, its shiny, and uses all modern effects, but it looks tacky and soulsless none the less. Best Mix of Technical and Artistic Ive played is FFXIV by a long shot, while somewhat weaker in the texture area than C9, its animations, models and art style are much nicer.

Sry, for the bad spelling (lol). Well it depends on it, sometimes it really is. Altough the game gives enough oppertunities to explore and to try things. There are loads and loads of quests and getting into this game might be challeging in the beginning. The only downside of this game is the payed subscription, but gives you regular renewal. About EVE, a few friends of my used to play this game. From what I can tell from their stories, is that the game is based on each persons' created economy, whichs support entire battlefleets.

The game is quite impressive but time consuming. It's entirely player driven, PVE just serves as a way to make some easy quick cash, beyond that the game revolves around large scale player interaction. To have fun you really have to be active, join a corp, and start making your impact on the world. It has the most epic pvp battles I've ever seen.

Infinity's the best looking MMO I've ever seen, doesn't seem like it's going to be released for a long time if at all though. You're able to fly from space into a planet seamlessly all on a realistic scale, beautiful to watch.

Just remember, having super awesome graphics doesn't mean the game is awesome. Sure it might look good, but it's probably a grindfest. Aside from WoW being an artisticly looking great, sure it has low polygons, but it delivers with detail. I think the next best looking, properly running and decent gameplay MMO would be Guild Wars 2, just a personal opinion. The less an MMO strangles your PC the funner it will be for everyone in it.

Lmao, aion looked horrible, only thing that outshined wow was the character models, get close to any rock or grass or anything, and it looked like blurry mush. So many haters towards wow, yet, so many more that agree wow is the best, in all departments, even graphics. I've played them all, every single mmo out, and WOW is better in every aspect hands down. People always say crap about wow's cartoony graphics, I dont see it, granted, I run it at max settings, cause my pc can, even in pvp, but not areana, and the game still looks great to me, considering how massive the world is, with absolutely no loads between environments, lol. I want to get off wow, I really do, but until that game comes, I can't. Lets hope GW2, SWtor or diablo 3 for that matter, can succeed. But, as it is, WoW is better in every aspect to ME. ps, AOC is nasty though in the graphic dept, I like it a lot, but there isn't enough in the game to keep my playing it. Lotro was cool too, but again, just not enough. Aion, I won't go there, should not be considered an mmo, it is not, it is linear crap. Guildwars, great game, but not an mmo. The rest, including ff, garbage. And yes, wow has been dumbed down, and I don't really like that, but at the same time, I do enjoy the random dungeon feature, to avoid the boring quest grinds, and holiday bg's, for insanse xp and honor. The pvp in wow is my favorite, nothing better then getting on one of my rogues, I have all 10 classes by the way, at 80, but rogues on a pvp server kick @$$, love going into cites and killing the opposing faction all day.

Despite everything you have said being completely subjective (Aion Linear while having the same mechanics as WoW? lol...) .... but seriously you cant see the "cartooney graphics" .... look at the game! from a technical stand point it looks absolutelty **** now. all you do in WoW is grind heroic badges ... but LOL random dungeon takes away from that does it? :lol:. oh dont forget bypassing all the raids except the latest becauyse badges make them redundant... so its basically a heroic and icecrown farm, with Battlegrounds that only number in what ... 5 after ... 6 years? oh and dont get me started on arena, nowhere near enough class balance to pull that off. And then we can mention how other than the 3 archtypes (Tank, Healer DPS) most of the classes are so idetical in what they over during PvE that its a dumbed down mess. Largest World in an MMO? LMAO. Well, most of that aint subjective, is ridiculous.

  • Badge loot and heroics were put into the game to please players who didn't want to raid
  • Raiding is still there for people who want to it. Put more work in, get better rewards
  • Being better at the game in either PvE or PvP gets you better gear
  • It's not Blizzard's problem you don't get accepted into a decent enough guild to do the latest raid dungeons
  • If you are good enough at PvP you wouldn't complain about balance
  • If arena was unbalanced, why would some of the highest rated players play unfavoured comps?
  • The classes are completely different. Feel free to explain all of these identical points you failed to mention
  • WoW is one of the largest games out for content

WoW isn't just about getting gear as you seem to think it is. It's about playing alongside other players as part of a team to acomplish goals, explore new dungeons and win against other teams.

People who can't get decent gear (because no good guild will take them) or can't PvP well usually end up blaming game mechanics or class balance and just quit the game. I've seen it so many times on so many forums, including Blizzard's own forums.

See you in Cataclysm.

The pvp in wow is my favorite, nothing better then getting on one of my rogues, I have all 10 classes by the way, at 80, but rogues on a pvp server kick @$$, love going into cites and killing the opposing faction all day.

Despite everything you have said being completely subjective (Aion Linear while having the same mechanics as WoW? lol...) .... but seriously you cant see the "cartooney graphics" .... look at the game! from a technical stand point it looks absolutelty **** now. all you do in WoW is grind heroic badges ... but LOL random dungeon takes away from that does it? :lol:. oh dont forget bypassing all the raids except the latest becauyse badges make them redundant... so its basically a heroic and icecrown farm, with Battlegrounds that only number in what ... 5 after ... 6 years? oh and dont get me started on arena, nowhere near enough class balance to pull that off. And then we can mention how other than the 3 archtypes (Tank, Healer DPS) most of the classes are so idetical in what they over during PvE that its a dumbed down mess. Largest World in an MMO? LMAO. Well, most of that aint subjective, is ridiculous.

  • Badge loot and heroics were put into the game to please players who didn't want to raid - So make more content for them instead of forcing them to do content that is 50 item levels below what they have in gear terms? heroics were a joke in blues, let alone in epics in wrath.
  • Raiding is still there for people who want to it. Put more work in, get better rewards - Errr wut? Naxx is lower than badge, Ulduar Hard Mode is lower than Icecrown, so what better rewards other than 1 25 man? theres 1 worthwhile raid now, theres no raid ladder anymore, its just icecrown.

  • Being better at the game in either PvE or PvP gets you better gear - Relevant to what exactly, other than stating the obvious?

  • It's not Blizzard's problem you don't get accepted into a decent enough guild to do the latest raid dungeons - Lol, ****c fanboy stands "you dont like the games direction must mean you suck at it :roll:" dream on.

  • If you are good enough at PvP you wouldn't complain about balance - Oh shut up its the most immature response that a gamer can hand out. is that why during the entirity of BC, and alot of Wrath Rogue, Mage, PRiest dominated the leader boards .... if you want to pretend an MMO has abalanced PVP fine, live in your own little world.

  • If arena was unbalanced, why would some of the highest rated players play unfavoured comps? - I dont understand your wording here.

  • The ****s are completely different. Feel free to explain all of these identical points you failed to mention - sigh... what does each ****bring unique, most of the ****s have buffs that 2-3 characters can fill, back in ****c and BC things like Shadow Priests and Shamans brought unique editions, now its all streamlined to the point where all that matters is who hits the hardest, because those that hit ahrdest managed to bring the buffs, case and point Mages and hunters giving the same buff priests offered uniquly, PvE uniqueness is all but dead.

  • WoW is one of the largest games out for content - Yes, and its also one of the biggest MMOs that makes its content redundant, ridiculously fast leveling makes ****c WoW's content what? 50% visable. OUtland is just a waste of time your there for 10 fast levels, wrath you level even faster on, and in the end theres no PvE ladder your just heroics then straight to icecrown.

WoW isn't just about getting gear as you seem to think it is. It's about playing alongside other players as part of a team to acomplish goals, explore new dungeons and win against other teams.

People who can't get decent gear (because no good guild will take them) or can't PvP well usually end up blaming game mechanics or ****balance and just quit the game. I've seen it so many times on so many forums, including Blizzard's own forums.

See you in Cataclysm.

Poor excuse. "xplore, team up" yea yea ofcourse, thats captain obvious material, but all you end up doing is farming gear, repeating the same dungeons (with no challenge because your item level is 50+ above them due to the casual badge system) and then doing icecrown once a week. (PvE Side).

PvP side is 4-5 battlegrounds, which arnt even played competitivly, theyre played like a grind where all that matters is the fastest honour farming method, and then you have arena, well your biased so you will never except that its unbalanced.
