New Windows Version User Interface

Does this mean we will soon be moving towards Direct X 11 in order to meet modern pc demands and get a graphic Characther/lanscape update later ?

UI overhaul =/= engine overhaul. They may take this in a direction of allowing legitimate third-party add-ons (and/or making them redundant), but nothing so far suggests "shiny new renderings."

Yeah , but i think the game indeed deserves a overhaul in code, isnt the graphics still on dx8 wrapped over to 9 making it a bit of monkey coding.

As for full graphics revamp, i dont expect that but some new shades and effects if updated over time as long as it is posible within windows client code.

The game has held up good for 10 years but it's starting to show some age and definetivly deserves the coming ui updates, and i definetivly like that they no longer hold back windows side on client because of Ps2/3 & xbox360.

Official info says the game is still DirectX 8.1:
