On Revamping WoW Graphics

The World of
Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Interview on Eurogamer is another
conversation from the Leipzig show with designer Tom Chilton and producer J.
Allen Brack about the upcoming WoW expansion. They talk about new graphics
options in the expansion, but when asked about how to entirely replace an aging
graphics engine in an MMORPG, they point out that both Ultima Online and
EverQuest created new graphics engines that some users refused to adopt because
of performance drop-offs and other issues. In spite of that, Brack admits that
they will "probably" need a "graphical update from the ground up at some point,"
and he is "positive we'll talk about it next expansion." Thanks
