    I do not know why you would call it gimp.  This is by far the best received expansion DAOC has ever released.  Outside of come complaints about a couple of classes which just means more classes to compalin about, I have not heard a single complaint.  Graphics are not the reason to get catacombs.  The fact that you can level up in no time would be the reason to get it, outside of the additional classes.

    But you can downloand the graphics update seperatly.  I think it is http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/patches or something along those lines.  You can also update the old areaas of the game with updated graphics from there as well.

    i run DAoC Catacombs maxed graphically and there is virtually no lag at all. It's an older game, most PCs nowadays can handle it ez with RAM and a good graphics card.

    If you look at the top it has the catacombs engine upgrade for SI and ToA.  That will allow you to use the new character models.
