    I'm fairly sure I could never play EQ1 again, but I enjoyed the screenshots because it reminded me of the first great demonstration of hardcore gnome ownage in a game. WoW followed it up admirably, but man I still have a soft spot for those awesome little fuckers in EQ1.

    Trolls also owned in EQ1, but gnomes are on a completely different level.

    Well, Shaman and Warrior sets will stay the same. Paladins, however, will sport a delightful fuschia when heading into battle.

    If you want the dreadnaught set why not try to get some people for a farewell to Naxx summer tour and head start? on learning it when it comes out again?

    It was such a great game. I almost want to make a thread about it, but I guess nostalgia doesn't really constitute legitimate thread basis.

    That looks beautiful indeed. It's such a shame shorelines still look silly, though, I'm betting a cookie that that will be the next development in graphics.

    It's not just limited to MMOs, I think I haven't seen a convincing shoreline in a game yet.

    Oh hey! That was a pretty fun team. I think I may have died, but that was from over-excited attempted gassings rather than de-lackeying.

    As for you Synth; you have no right discussing decency with an AV/Signature combo like that. Who is the real monster here?

    I assume that was posted as an example of good water.

    It's a very nice texture, and possibly reflection work (never played SL, so I've never seen it in motion), but it suffers from both a total lack of depth (textures will only carry a single plane so far) and the age-old shoreline issue. It reminds me a lot of Morrowind, which I seem to remember having amazing water - for 2001.

    Dammit, you stole my joke.

    And yes, while it is a plane, they have done a nice ass job with it. That's an old screenshot and now the water is a bit more see thru closer to shore so it will blend in a bit better. But the reflections and everything are so pretty and nice. I love seeing the stars reflect off of it too, that's really a nice touch.
