tbh, i don't like the look of the new characters from the flash video... maybe it's just me... but they looked a little more depixilated than they do now. And yes... I have my high-res settings on.

don't form solid opinions of monsters and characters yet. It still has Several months untill its released. They could possibly still be working on animations, since it appears the character is wearing lord british armor (or something like it) either way, it looks way better then our beyond outdated 2d client. I like it alot, and im going to pre-order as soon as i get the chance.

I could have sworn Ankh started this topic and had a link to Stratics, where there were much clearer pictures. Now I'm really confused...

I really like, how this could make all the monsters that don't look like they belong in the game suddenly fit in.

It shouldn't change anything at all. I would assume that this client would work like the other one (same packets, etc.) with new graphics so people could use either client to play their servers. I guess we'll have to wait and find out though.

That depends since well all the artwork in the game is used generated and displayed client side it would be a major pain in the ass if they switched from the .mul files they are using now and went to something else. Granted it may use the same packets but that dosen't mean they can't set up a second set of art work files and have it send the proper packets back to which ever client your using (the new up coming or the current) so it reads the correct files. Doing that would completely screw the ability to use it with RunUO without doing major modification to the Distro and most likely some core mods.

I may actually pay OSI some money again. The last time was when I bought my copy of T2A, played my free month, and promptly went to play on free shards.

If they follow through with this client, I may actually provide them some $$ to possibly make more things in the future.


As for the compatability with RunUO, I am fully confident that whatever they conjure up, the folks here will be able get it working.

Let me answer that with an analogy based on "Pulp Fiction":

"Hey, I know you assraped me for nearly 4 years now, but you have this REALLY shiny thing in your store and I'd just LOVE to give you money for it."

Or in a shorter version:

Not a fucking chance in hell!

Those pics are 1024x768 :) It would be so awesome if the new client supports super high res (1600x1200) and widescreen...5.1 surround sound would be nice as well

Kind of would take the game out of the stone age... wouldnt bet to much money on the sound issue, though. 5.1 surround in an isometric view... uah.

Taking a close look at the screenshots it seems more a 2d client they are showing at this time.To me it looks kinda looks like the old Baulders Gate graphics.

I'm just glad they finaly updated the client.

Funny you should mention that, I'm playing Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal right now;)
On Topic...yes I think almost everyone would agree that it's about time they updated the client:)
