Best Graphical MMORPG 2006-2007?

HardwareGuyHardwareGuy Member UncommonPosts: 64

What are some of the best MMO's (or MMORPG) that you guys know of?  I'm looking to get into a good game

with very nice graphics (not much I can compare with but I liked EQ2 graphics except for the plastic look and

the game lacking the fun factor).  I want something fun for me and my wife to play and you guys seem to

know more about it than anyone else. I don't post a lot but I read heavily. Maybe I am missing something but I

cannot find a good game to save my life. Any Ideas on newly released or beta stuff that might be good for us?

Thanks in advance!

    Aion is the game for you! www.aionsource.com , www.aionfan.com , www.plaync.com read up on it

    It is being released in 2007 and if you have a look at some screenshots you will notice the game has beautiful graphics and is using the CRYengine.

    lHuxley and Hellgate london are one of the best mmorpg games i  think so far.

    however if youre into RPGS without thinking much about the massive multiplayer, its gotta be neverwinter nights 2

    GW graphics are getting already old. Hardwareguy, you should just wait for the games coming out in 2007 :D

    Yeah, there's nothing really worth trying just now. Just wait until start of 2007.

    Age of Conan and Aion are without a doubt the most graphical impressive games of 2007.

    The video's look great.although that does not say anything. a certain MMO's that involves a golden circle on one's finger  (wink) had impressive video's as well, but it turns out it isn't all that special in the real game.

    Pirates of the Burning Sea. The screenshots look killer.

    Ragnarok Online 2.  A russian magazine rescently publicized more info on the game.  The Ellr race will be using a materia like system (a-la FF7).  Also the environments look breathtaking.  They are really using HDRI lighting and Normal mapping to its full effects.  When you see the movies all you can say is wow, those are goergeous environments.

    GW's graphics get upgraded with each expansion, GW got an upgrade a few months ago with Factions and is getting a new one with Nightfall coming out soon. Their streaming technology allows such a thing and they are doing it. Looks like GW's graphics won't get out of date any time soon.

    Be prepared to drool once the graphic update hits eve. It's pretty now and it will be fricken awewsome after.
    And please spare me the - it's in space - less to render blablabla - doesn't change the fact that it looks fantastic. (Like X-3 for example)

    the graffix for the upcoming eq2 expansion look awesome.

    playing eq2 and two worlds

  • Well I actually like the graphics of Auto Assault and its a fun game.  The snow effects are great.  And sliding around in the snow is pretty fun.

    The combination of weather effects and real Havok physics is pretty cool.  Especially when you get oil slicked :P

    too bad it's still the same plain, boring game.


    I cast my vote for Age of Conan.

    Thanks for all the info guys, I have been looking at Aion, Ragnarak 2, Tabula Rasa, CoSB, AoC and some others. I think Ragnarok 2 hold my interest most but I am still not sure about it. Some very good info here. Keep it coming :)

    Obviously you are blind or you have a crappy graphic card and computer. The first GW was using DirectX8, with Factions it was upgraded to DirectX9. Spell effects are quite much more visible than they used to be, water looks better, heck, everything looks better. With Nightfall they are changing heads so they are mobile during the cinematics so they can lipsync with the dialogues which is something they are not doing right now. And who knows what else they are adding with Nightfall.

    There are a few to look at, I'm keeping my eye on Aion and Age of Conan. Graphics are definatley taking a step in the right direction.....now if we can just get a game that has ...err nevermind

    Waiting on Guild Wars 2

    Honestly I think it's too early to tell right now.

    I mean, there's plenty of games coming out in 2007 we have barely seen. If SG:W comes out in 2007, that might be great graphically, but we've only seen like 2 screenshots.
