This is a step in the right direction. I hope this is a trend we see in the coming months! EQ2 is a fantastic game, but when competing with WoW, it's going to take a lot of hard work and being honest about why Blizzard pulled so far ahead of SOE in such a short amount of time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that overhauling the graphics engine is on the plate by the next expansion release
. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll build it to be DirectX 10 capable... maybe...
