Why can't they just up the graphics?

Games like Everquest 1 and WWII Online have dramatically improved their graphics over the years, why can't AO do the same? It would definitely get more people to play. Infact, the only problem that I see with AO that keeps me from playing it are the horrible graphics.

Prior to the free trial, they did not have the money for the required software and hardware updates,

With the money from the froob ads coming in, they used it on the development of other games instead.

With The Longest Journey now released and earning its own revenue, and Age of Conan past the biggest money sucking stage, they are now working on updating the graphics in the Lost Eden expansion.

Anarchy Online was my best experience with any mmo! Granted the graphics are a bit out of date seeing how it came out 5 years ago, but it was the first time I saw a GM manipulate the skies, produced a space ship to come down out of the sky to drop some GM npc's in Mort and kill 10 people in front of me! That was way before any of the expansion....that experience was just simply awesome!
