CoV/CoH: The graphics are pretty nice but most importantly they run smoothly, the programmers behind this game freaking rules! I dunno what shortcut they took, but it work wonder, and you even travel faster than in any other game, best customisation.
Lag matter for me when it come to graphics and this game does it wonderfully. Bright programmers there (anyone who work on the engine or world is a 'programmer' to me hehe, be they coding or doing anything else I don't really understand, label the word magic on them!)

There is actually an MMO better than the MMO's youve stated, OP.
Yes it is the notorious SWG. SWG's graphics are something to google at. Sure, everything else sucks, but the graphics in that game are something else to behind entirely. And GW is not an MMO.

swg has nice graphics but L2's graphics are better...i'd say EQ2 and SWG are around the same quality...maybe they would get an 8 or 9 to Lineage 2's 10...
the some of the L2 screenshots are from prelude or chronicle 1 ( i can tell this by the font)...and those graphics pale in comparison to the current version of the game...on high detail with a good graphics card the game looks truly amazing...
remember we are not even discussing the merits of the game itself...simply pointing out the look of the game...and if you played Lineage 2 in chronicle 3 or 4 you would understand what we mean.
Notice that some of the resident flamers that jump on L2 any chance they get have not posted on this thread...because they understand that even though they may not like the game...on this one point it is unimpeachable
Ya definately L2. After all these threads on the latest chronicle I actually dug out my collectors ediotion DVD and gonna try it again...started updating almost 6 hours ago though should have down loaded the thing and updated from there /sigh.

I'm looking for a game with attention to detail. Everything fitting together and blending just right. Some really nice weather (I love a game with immersive weather). Nice looking character models. And some SWEET effects.
Auto Assault has very good graphics and excellent effects. Your characters looks very sharp and detailed and the wilderness zones with your car are very inspired. In addition, the environments are destructible which makes for some really great effects. It also has great gameply with very deep crafting and PvP. I highly recommend it.
Then, as others have already said, EVE has great graphics. And in addition, CCP have recently announced that they are working on revamping the graphics to stay ahead of any possible future competition.

lol I don't think this discussion includes games still in development or else this discussion will be heavily wieghted to Huxley, Granado Espada, Hero's Journey, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and Ragnarok Online 2.
Guild Wars has the best background graphics of any game it also has pretty good armor and weapon graphics.
Linage 2 has probaly the best charater graphics in any MMO and not to bad background graphics.
EVE has one of the best ship graphics of any game ever made includeing the PS2 and Xbox games but you can not get out of your ship at all in the game so that kinda sucks for some people it also has the biggest world of any MMO .
Star Wars Galaxies is one of the only games with weather graphics so if this makes a game for you i would pick this one, if you dont mind the NGE. Its not that bad of a game with the NGE it just was 100 times better with out it.
By the way WOW graphics are just friken ugly to me i donno if u like the cartoon graphics that it has but to me they suck.
Over all i think GW is the best choice if you are going for a good game with great graphics.
Rateings:
GW = 9
L2 = 8.5
EVE = 9
SWG = 7
WOW = 5
PS. I have played all these games in the last 3 months so my rateing are pretty up to date
We are the movers and shakers of the world, forever.

Thats pretty fair except maybe the WoW score. You thump it pretty hard. Personally I would take the WoW graphics over SWG. I loaded SWG up last night and I gotta say the landscape looks like poop. The character models and everything else look pretty good but not the worlds.

Yes but some of these newer games are going to look fantastic. I hope they have the gameplay to match.
I'd have to say Huxley has the best graphics even thought it hasn't come out yet. But as for a agame that has been out i'd have to say GW has the best gfx
Ultima Online!! 3d games can go to hell... mwuhahahaha this is a pic where we were about to defend Vesper from the evil judges on Europa who came to collect our tax money

Wait a minute. I don't think a game using the MAME emulator counts.
Forget my original post, Auto Assault wins hands down. Overall world detail is amazing in this game. There is flying debris and all kinds of weather and explosioins and body parts flying. AA gets a 10 in graphics from AA.
I have played Lineage2, SWG, Everquest 2, WoW, CoH, all of 'em........ and this is MY rating, not an official say on the winner..........
WoW?....sux, to cartoony for me, and yes, the characters are ugly. Now, the graphics are good, but not the best.
SWG?....great.....for it's time, it's behind on the graphics field now. The water is the games saving grace at the time.
Eq2? ....is good, but still lacks the enviroment enhancements other games have. The Characters aren't at all "great" either. CoH?....eh...ok.
Lineage 2? ....still the best (in my oppinion ONLY) I played it for a very long time and yes the world to me is smaller than i'd like it to be.....and yes most of the characters look alike, BUT the world itself, and the detail in the characters (which is what this thread is about) is way ahead of it's time, the only game i have seen that beats it, is Morrowind Oblivion, but that's not a mmo.
With that said, Lineage 2 isn't my favorite game. If your into pvp or more likely, being Pk'd, then this is YOUR game! The number one thing wrong with the game itself is there's not enough to do at high lvl, but it's llikely that you'll give up on the game before you ever reach HIGH lvl. AND before I go into a Lineage2 thread, i'll stop there.......
REMEBER this is my oppinion, no one elses, so thank you for listening.

I think I see what Upallnight was trying to say. Even the orc looks like a 14 year old kid. I can't speak for him, but I believe that was the point he was trying to make earlier. It's like Lord of the Rings meets Lord of the Flies.

Omg... so just because its got better graphics and you can't find something to argue about so you go back and mention GW is not a MMO

Lineage, SWG, and Guild Wars definetly. WoW and EQ2 dont even match up to these.
