I just took the screenshots from my own game, amazing how far the game's art has improved over the years. They have also managed to make amazing looking in-game cutscenes. You can watch one of them on GameTrailers I believe.

The only thing good looking about WoW is the CG cutscenes

The colours are definately pretty. But the graphics are inferior compared to the graphics we see today.

It's a pretty game... even if I dont really like Wow... at all. I watched my friend get addicted to it. He's been playing it since like 2005 or something like that... insane.

The main reason why I don't play WoW is because of the crappy graphics. Scenary may look nice in some areas but the character models look like crap.

Lineage 2 is the only game that rivals it imo, its also seamless, too bad the game actually blew chunks unless on a priv server.

Agreed. I was a big fan of Guild Wars at the time I tried the 10 day WOW trial. I really did not like the graphics at all, especially since I was playing so much Guild Wars at the time, and GW blows WOW out of the water in that department.

If GW had more character customization i would be all over it, seriously :P It's the only thing i couldn't really stand. That and the very limited amount of characters You could have.

No it doesn't! What are you talking about, your standards must be pretty low. The game went to cartoony.

And I used to play wow for PvP: Grand Marshal + t3 bracers, belt, boots, and a lot of enigma along with the dagger off maexis and off-hand from twin emps. Then in BC I became a gladitor, then realized wow this game blows.

I came back to lvl to 80 during my winter break, and got to it only to realize this game really really does blow due to the fact that its catered to casuals and PvP is is still reduced down to rock, paper, scissors. Wipee!

For an example how much I used to play... well the first 3 years wow came out, I clocked in about a year.

The game does look great considering the specs you need to run it and how old it is, I agree it's a gorgeous game.

I have played WoW on my 40" tv at 1920x1080, all setting at max. It looks stunning, sure from a technical point of view its nothing special but it still looks amazing. All youy people who say its not impressive have no clue what you are talking about. For an mmo this is fantastic. Even my PC that plays almost all modern games at max at 1080p is taxed in big cities at peek times on wow.

To say this game is 4 years old is even more impressive.

Btw HoldThePhone do you have the graphics macro thingy? I found something on youtube, a macro you make that ups the graphics, it actually works. If you don't have it ask and I'll search for it!

I will say WoW has some amazing looking vista's or when your going from flight point to flight point artisticaly very nice on the levels but the actual character models are not very good at all and they weren't even when the game first came out.

yeah I know what you're saying. It's just that WoW annoys me in general, I have a couple of friends that choose to play WoW over hanging out, going out and stuff like that. And when they do, they'll just talk WoW in their own what it seems personal language. I know the game is probably a lot of fun in a guild with friends or whatever, but it isn't for me.

How the hell can you compare a single player game with an MMO? Really, just think about that for a moment. If wow had visuals like that no PC on the planet, eve nnow would run the game above 1fps in a major city with 100s of other online around you. Not to mention BG with all the spell effects going on. Think please before you post.

My GF used to go mad cause me and my friends wouldn't EVER stop talking about WOW, and she didn't understand ANY of it =D, in time I saw the pain I was causing and avoided talking about WoW around people that didn't play, but I still have friends who jus can't help themselves lol. I'll never forget about 3/4 years ago we had a Guild Dinner here in Portugal, most of us were from Portugal so almost everyone came from all over the country, we even had people that were living in England, Norway, Holland and Spain fly over just for the dinner. WoW wasn't the phenomenom it is today, and I'll never forget how good it felt to have a bunch of people speaking in WoW labguage and watching everyone around us look at us like "wtf are those guys talking about" =D Twas fun. Good TImes.

I think Lord of the Rings: Online, had both technically and artistically usurped WoW when it came out. Age of Conan is arguably the overall best looking one, though I've heard some areas are pretty bland.

I played LOtR online for a couple of months. Although my PC at the time couldn't max it and remain playable it sure did look great.

Even though I don't play Wow anymore (WAR!!!!!!), teh fact that it has 11 million ACTIVE subs tells me that it has to have its good/strong points. The times I played WoW, I had fun and enjoyed it but I prefer PVP, especially mass pvp so to WAR and Eve-Online I go. Eve Online graphics has got to be the one that aged pretty well considering that is about 5-6 years old. In fact, its graphics can be considered superior (in both technical and artistic) compared to alot of "newer" games.
