They're definitely antiquated, but from a business sense, doing so makes a ton of sense Brian Send a noteboard - 12/09/2010 09:03:36 AM
The graphics are acceptable on a high end system (not great, but passable at least), and they will still run on a shit system. Upgrading the graphics would kill that huge range of systems that they run on. Until people start abandoning the game in droves, they have no reason at all to abandon the mid-low range graphics that have allowed them to be so universally accessible.

.....Yes, I know, that isn't much of debate, but I'm drunk, and that's as close as I can get to making a coherent argument right now.

"Bad" is subjective. By any modern technical standard, however, they are inferior. Aemon - 12/09/2010 07:28:34 AM 696 Views

You guys are not actually disagreeing. Aemon realizes this, but I'm not sure LL does lord-of-shadow - 12/09/2010 06:35:09 PM 661 Views

I've noticed that MMO's that have tried to usurp WoW with superior graphics have failed. TaskmasterJack - 12/09/2010 07:33:13 PM 638 Views
I agree, I was shocked that my netbook could run wow at acceptable settings Roland00 - 13/09/2010 05:21:44 AM 571 Views
