I'm afraid I stopped taking it seriously when they gave WoW graphics the edge over EQII's. :smileymad:

while EQ2 has 'more realistic' graphics.. they aren't realistic enough to be pleasing to the eye... WoW's aren't as realistic enough... but having played both extensivley... i can say my eyes do not hurt after playing WoW... they hurt after playing EQ2.... A friend of mine can't even stand looking at the eq2 graphics for more than 5 minutes without getting a headache... and I can see where he's coming from...

*pssssst* Turn the refresh rate on your monitor up from the default of 60 (that's what gives headaches), and turn the contrast on your monitor down from it's factory set default of 100% (makes colors dull / lessens proper look of shadows).
