Yeah, that looks damn cool. Old school. Sort of reminds me of the EQ gfx. This is what MMO's is all about. Not all the new fluff and shit =P

Wonder if it also makes you lag every single time you turn in the city.

if you lag when you go into a city I suggest you loose that voodoo 2 card and 166mmx.

The daoc engine is utter crap tho.
I'm on an Amd Dual Core 2.4ghz, 1gb kingston hyper x, Geforce 7800gtx PCI-E and i still have inc lag and such so :p

UO > all

man now I wanna install UO again and play :(


it'd be a really bad idea to click here then :p I played it up until a few months after the samuri upgrade. God it was on a slippery slope then, now it's beyond a joke. Take back trammel, bring back player killing anywhere and we'll have fun again :worthy:

I know UO graphics look pants compared to MMORPGs of today but EVERYONE of them owes something to UO and most don't have even a 10th of the content (or the enjoyable fluff). DAOC is learning from UO now taking elements from it, long may this fluff stealing (titles anyone?) continue.

Just don't bring in neon hair dyes.

I have no lag and fps loss at all, not even with 100+ Chars involved. Everything is smooth and funky. :p

Most important thing for Daoc is Ram, alot Ram!

lol @ the pics of daoc.

Thats got to be Alpha stage at the latest, maybe even development stages, because it wasnt even close to that in beta.

Should think AMD3200+ Radeon9800Pro & 1,5GB DDR could run this but nop.
