  1. Such a great screenshot. If all or most of the new WoW looks this good, nVidia and ATI will see a large increase in profits as people upgrade to get beyond the minimum specs.

  2. It would be hilarious – a portion of the game having current gen graphics, while others are stuck being downright ugly. Blizzard, release your graphical update already!

  3. Wow! (not WoW but plain old wow)

    I gave the game away about a year ago and have never had a single urge to get back into it…but looking at that screeny…..more AOC/LotRO than traditional cartoony WoW…shit…that’ll get me back for sure…as long as they stop nerfing me Prot Warrior!
