Learn too read posts, I already said it was a mistake. I'm not into AoC or LOTRO, I assumed they were on the highest settings. Obviously not. Even on the high setting screenshots though, AoC's art style looks just horrible ( imo ) LOTRO's art style isn't too bad. AoC has failed big time, LOTRO is doing fine. Now lets hope DF delivers. because I can't stand the WoW carebears allover the place.
Sorry i miss in the long thread your apologies. Was my fault of course because i didn't pay enough attention, i was so outraged after reading your first post. Anyway this kind of mistakes is not doing any good for Darkfall and it's community .

Let us not discuss art here, ok. If someone like the art or not is very personal and all 3 of those styles have fans and people who can't stand them. Discussing which art that is best will not give us anything useful.
I kinda like the art of AoC in many cases, like in this screenshot.
I don't see how AoC failed more than LOTRO and I really don't see what that have to do with anything here either.
technically picture is :
800 x 500 , 48 bit, png, and 1.5 MB size...still not fair
Scale it down to 24 bit and about 200kb jpg for a fair compare to mmorpgit.it pictures

hehe ...imagine ... "We have massive battles" eye-candy idiot : "but my game has better graphics" "i have freedom to do what i like" eye-candy idiot : "but my game has better graphics" "We have even weather forecasting" eye-candy idiot : "but my game has better graphics" "we have better graphics" eye-candy idiot : "%$%$%!&9ß"
As long as the game can run on mid settings with low to no lag i will be happy. With the complexity of the fighting in the game graphics need to be a lower grade for the masses to the reduce the chance of lag kills. I think what we have seen is excellent for the game. After being burned on AOC dropping a ton of coin on hardware for a sub par game that's just eye candy I will take game substance over high end graphics any day. If they can hold a LOTRO level of look thats just fine with me.

i'd say better than LOTRO but worse than AOC. that said, shadows in DF are best of any MMO i know of.
it says a lot that the screenshots on mmorpg.it are blurry and of pretty poor quality but still manage to look pretty good.
I hate eye candy whores.
