WoW does not make anyone drool, it looks like a game from the 90s - oh wait that would be because it is.

It seems youre missing the point too then. What MMO has made the graphical leap that crysis made when it first came out? 'None' would be the answer to that, MMOs have limitations that SP/MP games can get around. /Thread. Suggest you think a little wider and concentrate on the 'drool' bit.

Plenty of MMO shots that make you drool, LOTRO would be my obvious first port of call, WoW certainly had some immerive moments like the first time you saw the old Org, AoC left me cold but I only played it day 1. might be worth having another look.

You're being a bit immature now and don't appear to have played the game for any length of time. Even if you have, you could remonstrate your opinion in a more respectful manner so that people might take you a bit more seriously.

Countless times the game visually impressed me, far more than crysis ever did, getting the most out of the engine and the visual style rather than just a big polygon count and it seems like I am not the only one, hence why it has been put forward multiple times in this thread alone. So yeah if you just want polygon count maybe not but then why would you ask the question in the first place?

I don't see how people can say lotro has great landscapes, they look terrible on the whole. It has to be Age of Conan as it's one of the few MMOs that actually employs things such as lighting.
 
Right now, Rift looks the most impressive imo on max settings. But I don't think it'll age that well. I recently had a look at Lotro again after it went free to play and I was disappointed by the graphics - I remember it looking great when they upgraded the client (can't remember exactly when - 2009?), but it really has lost its lustre in my view.

Wow's art style is fantastic. The character models (esp. human - real eyesores they are) are poor, but for a game over 6 years old it has impressive and very scenic landscapes. That's one thing TOR is getting right, I think. I can see that it'll still look distinctive in 5 years' time, whereas by then Lotro, AoC and Rift will look horribly dated.
 
eve? but i gotta say, crank wows setting too full enable dx11 and it looks pretty good! new stuff looks sweet too!
only thing that lets Wow down is the draw distance

I am almost positive you can force the draw distance further with some command line stuff.

I used to have a macro which pushed the settings even further (draw distances, foliage density etc)
 
I found rift to be pretty good looking compared to most, eve and aoc have there moments too.

Although environment wise mortal online has blown me away at the moment.
