WoW still has by far and away the greatness art direction of any game.
It's pretty sad to see the like-for-like "ololol it looks pap" comments. Games don't actually HAVE to strive to look as photo-realistic as possible. You certainly wouldn't go into an art gallery and "olololol it looks pap" at Van Gogh's work because it doesn't look enough like the sunflowers on your dining table.
OP: Get some shots up from Darkshore and Ashenvale. Always thought they were some of the most ambient and impressive of the early zones!

Well in fairness, when it came out it was optimised to run on just about anything, and that was a long time ago at this stage.
Some of the world design is really cool, and it always managed to convey heaps of atmosphere, but let's face it, it's showing its age a bit.
