    The ever-popular and ongoing: Hardcore Casual War. Sandbox Themepark War. And number one: Even Sex Was Way Better In The Good Olde Dayze.

    Other threads that reappear pretty much daily (honorable mentions, I guess): I Hate Instances. These Modern [x] Are Just La-Zee. Where Has The Community Gone? Death Penalty Badass Chest-Thump.

    Yes, I will come up with a dozen more. We're pretty cyclic.

    Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

    Oh yeah cause that generic green Wrath of the Lich King armor with what seems like low graphics settings

    These are the upgraded graphics, that's why the textures on the fatty are so sharp.

    That's what the site said where I got it from, I don't play WoW.

    Yeah, I know I understand that you don't play WoW and all but yeah you want to look at the newest graphics Mists of Pandaria has to offer because its the latest and we are talking about aging and WoW does it extremely well

    I completely disagree. That image you posted looks like it was taken from a PlayStation 2 screenshot.

    The notion that WoW, Wildstar, and other "stylized" games age better is completely subjective and absolutely non-factual.

    This is from 2010:

    Even from this photo, you can base that realistic graphics can actually age significantly better than "stylized"

    LOL that isn't "aged well graphics".....that's a complete graphical overhaul.


    You must be one of the guys who's the reason why we can't have unrestricted pvp in games for... the poster was comparing pre-overhaul with post-overhaul.

    Okay? What's your point?

    The previous post is making the claim that its unfair that people are posting old and outdated images of World of Warcraft - but I thought the point is that it ages well? Why not post pictures from vanilla WoW if you want to make that claim?

    The fact of the matter remains that even with a realistic looking game, developers can continue to support it and update the engine as time goes on. It's unnecessary that developers have to go through the trouble of making a game look silly and childish under the basis that it "ages well". It's quite obvious that people prefer EQN to look more realistic.

    Also - the images you posted are eastern-style jrpg's. I personally think they look and age SIGNIFICANTLY better than these silly themed western-stylized games we're getting like WoW and Wildstar

    I know it's scary, having a skill based game on your computer, but just load it up and walk around for a few minutes to check out the graphics of the Forgelight engine.

    Then know that EQN is going to be on it.  Then edit this silly comment as yours.

    The only thing that's going to be happening at SOE Live is people offering to do sick things for Beta keys like a bunch of withdraw infused meth heads.

    Yep.  I'm making a list of things I'll offer.  I wonder if my brother would be upset I offered his kids up as personal slaves since I don't have any of my own? image

    Cartoony games start out looking like crap and end up looking like crap later. This aging well argument is silly.

    Do you ever get the feeling like you've missed a joke or didn't get the sarcasm ?

    Do you have that feeling now ?

    Except that the first shot is from the same game. WoW has upgraded its graphics as well, but it has always looked low poly and sub par.

    Eve, and DAoC, and many other MMOs upgrade their graphics over time, so they continue to look good.

    Do you have a feeling when you're asking something painfully obvious of someone who's proving a joke to be a rather bit stupid?

    From the way that guy was posting, I took his comment as if that's exactly what he's expecting.  That EQN is going to look bad and that people are going to be up in arms about it.

    Go ahead and read some of the posts he made.

    Ever get the feeling that you didn't get the point of what someone said in their post?

    Exactly.  Some people just don't get it.

    Back to the actual OP subject of which argument, cartoony gfx vs NC PvP, (even though I'm not sure the OP expected a serious discussion or just a joke), but the pvp argument is one that will always be heated and fierce. The gfx one though I don't think applies here because we've only seen the concept art and not actual game footage (unless I missed that), but usually the cartoon vs realism doesn't seem to get as heated or have the insults/low-blows that PVP does, so I enjoy the PVP threads the most. I do think i just wasted my time posting though, because OP was probably just being ironic or something.
