yeah another WoW clone. I was excited at first, but the more I see about it, more it looks like they are just copying the WoW formula instead of making something new and interesting.

Hooray for composited shot (look at the feet of the guy on the right... plus he has no shadows and the lighting is all wrong).

I'm done nitpicking for now.

after reading about this and stuff i'm generally excited about it. i'll probably give it a shot but my only problem is i play WOW pretty much exclusively on a laptop right now and it runs decent at nearly max settings. i'm worried this won't and it'll either run like shit and look like shit, or look like shit while barely running better than shit. we'll see i guess.

Where are the lighting effects and shadows? Gotta have shadows to make this game dark and war-like imo.
