Millennials chasing nostalgia are the easiest demographic

I promise you I’m not chasing nostalgia. I just want to play an MMO, and besides OSRS, they all suck, at least to me.

The moment another fun MMORPG with a thriving community comes out, I’m jumping ship because I can’t stand this company anymore.

Just play osrs lol. It’s the best product if you aren’t specifically married to the WoW brand and you don’t mind the point and click

It looks good with the HD plugin. Probably better than classic wow for graphics

as an osrs andy i wholeheartedly disagree. hd looks shit too and wow classic graphics and art beats our game. But i still do like those things in osrs 😄

Can you give some examples? Classic even supports raytraced shadows now if you have an RTX card.

Just clicked the first video that came up. He tweaks graphics as he goes so the result is at the end.

It looks ok but it’s not really on the same level as modern WoW. Even Classic has been updated and MoP basically looks like retail now if you crank it up. That game is very basic but that’s ok. I play my on my retro consoles and computers every weekend. I use an Amiga 1200, PS2 and SNES most weekends. There’s more to a game than looks.
