They really need to concentrate on the edge between objects and backgrounds, everything in DAOC looks 'plonked' on the background, it all looks too clean, with perfect edges, there is no bank erosion on any river, all the trees pop out of the ground,
with straight ,low polygon edges.

I completely agree... but generally only games with 2D backgrounds have such qualities.
Would make coding the surrounding 20 times more difficult.
Unfortunately...
I mean it would be fantastic if the game had a grim look to it.

They do, it is called Midgard. Bout as grim and depressing as you can get, full of stinking trolls too

Heh.
Maybe so...

But hey, it's not like we can get the game to look like some Marvel comic. As in detail, since we do have caped freaks running around already.

We're many many years away from 'true' environments. But we'll get there, eventually.. It remains to be seen if it ever gets that far with DAoC.

But I'm certainly looking forwards to walking through a VR forest that looks as real as the RL thing. Just hope I live long enough to see it. =)

With real life squirrels that eat nuts and then shit on your head as you walk through the forest?

Hmmmmmm, mostly just different if you ask me, I think the original trees suit Midgard better, the new one's don't look like the right type.

Have to agree on the Midgard trees thing. The new ones look nice, but it kinda looks a bit too much like they've taken Albion trees and put snow on them. They don't look enough like pine trees.

And yeah, the edges on stuff are a bit too clean. Especially when it comes to the water edges on the banks.

Guess, we can relax a bit... have a view on the tree you can see on your right on this shot
