I tend to look for the quality of animation mostly.
WoW has nailed that beautifully... A lot of development studios don't think that quality/smoothness of character and combat animation is very important (and that may be their worst mistake).
If it looked like WoW or WildStar it would be a major hit for me.I'd try it,but not sure I would last long.
EQ was and never should be cartoony.
Totally agree. If it looks like WoW/Wildstar, count me out. I couldn't stand the art style when WoW was released and to see an EQ game look like that would just kill it for me. If I wanted that art style, I'd just play Dragon's Lair. Yes, I was old enough to play that when it came out BTW.
If the gameplay is bad, I don't care what it looks like.

I don't understand these people, do you not actually remember what EQ1 looked like? It was very cartoony.
EQ2 tried for realism, but failed with play-doh faces, and then introduced alternate models that appeared anime-like (developed for the Asian market). Which most players preferred.
The armour that Kerra is wearing? Yeah its in EQ2 already. So much realism!

it didnt look real due to the graphic restraints genius.
EQ2 fails at everything in my book,so your points regarding that MMO are lost on me.
I never had an issue with WoW's artstyle, tbh, so I don't really mind, but there are plenty of artstyles in that general area that I really hate (ergo, Wildstar). So it really depends.
I'm a fan of realistic graphics, but I think I really like what i'm seeing here. The world to me looked highly detailed and realistic while the player characters were stylized, yet also highly detailed. They reminded me of the few screen shots shown from Curt Shilling's failed MMO. The SOEmote demo looked great too. Not a fan of the huge armor though. World looked awesome.

I agree on the world. But that armor looked atrocious. very WoW.

World definitely looks amazing and very Planetside 2 like
But the character model is god awful, WoW characters might actually looks more detail than what we saw in the presentation.
However once again it is alpha footage, i sure hope they will improve the character models significantly .
This is all I have to say about EQN for now. I hope when I have a chance to play it looks different???
Not sure what I just said ? I'm sure it will look pretty much the same?
Today pushed me a step closer to Wildstar.
I am neutral and unbiased as anyone could ever be.
I'm just sick and tired of not having a game to hang my hat on...
GW2 was a bust, Never winter just pissed me off once I reached 60 in a few days and so on and so on... (if you need reasons, send me a pm, I'll be glad to share.)
So now I set my sites on Wildstar and FFXIV... maybe ESO???
I read a post yesterday about Blizzard Titan may be holding out to see what others come out with and steal the best from each...
Hell if they do that... they just might end up with a second Monster MMO?! Why not?

NEW IDEAS that can refresh the STALE state of MMORPGs

I don't mind cartoony if the gameplay is good.

If by cartoony you mean something like this, than I have absolutely no problem

Too vague. There are ‘cartoony’ styles I love, and there—
Oh. Then, no, most likely not. It would take gameplay far better than I expect to make up for that.
This look pretty good to me. it came from fire fall
Well it's confirmed. It's cartoony. Looks like the abomination that is swtor.

Maybe they don't place much weight on a forum pole with 307 votes when they develop the game? Maybe?
That character they got to demo the SOEmote looked like meg from the disney hercules cartoon.
As much as I was a hater of cartoony characters (like wow) I kind of like this disney cartoon look they game them.
I am, after all, a disney fan, so this works for me.
Im going to make Bell and Ariel when the game launches , lol.
Bad.
