  WOW! Just when I think I've seen as much beauty as this game can display, a thread like this shows up. The graphics in this game are just out-freaking-standing. Only thing I would wish for is some advanced character models with more polygons, not different artwork. The artwork in this game is very pleasing to the eye.

  And btw, your english is ten times better than most of the posters around here. Saludos!

  Thanks for sharing! Shot 69 and 63 look cool, but I'm afraid something about the game just dosn't make it very visually appealing to me. Maybe it's the lack of detail and personality on the characters faces, or the way the world looks, I dunno kinda washed out. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's an issue with lighting. Regardless, I'm not trying to talk art here. Thanks again!

  hehe, yeah, same, I think they could improve the character models, at least the elf/human ones.
  
  
  
  It is a pain to write a good opinion about a game in those forums without having a perfect english, you know, first thing trolls will say is "is that english?" =P

  Washed out is Vanguard, the lighting in LotrO is hands down the best use of environmental lighting in any mmo to date. The way the entire environment changes is breath taking, you say your an environmental artist, and I have a bridge for sale in London.
  
  Please by all means , show us your examples of well lit environment .....
  
  
  
  Let me help you back to topics you kknow about......
  
  What do/did you enjoy about EQ?
  
  Everquest
  
  Who gets on your nerves the most?
  
  Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

  when you are going to prance around with "environmental artist" in your sig, it is put up or shut up time.
  
  Simple task, show me your game world with environmental lighting that can change on a whim .

  Why should one have to prove that there is something better just because one doesn't like a specific thing.
  
  Put up or shut up, my way or the highway, they are just cliche's that doesn't work.
  
  
  
  But it wasn't that I referred to I was referring to that sneak around attitude, wonder what he has said that can be used against him etc.

  This is the type of forum member mmorpg.com made me, use facts and presentations to back your statements, if you do not use either / or anything you post can be held for the court of fans .
