Hi Res Texture Pack

[TheRogueX]

It would not be difficult IF they have the high-res "source" textures lying around. If they don't ... ya, it's not happening. They aren't going to re-texture the whole game..

Err, they still have all the assets from 1.0 sitting around.

Err, they still have all the assets from 1.0 sitting around.

the assets for 1.0 were also designed in a different engine (Crystal Tools), so they'd still have to rework a lot of them (especially cloth textures) to work in the current engine.
What is being asked for is a far greater challenge than people seem to realize and is wholly impractical to dedicate a lot of time for for an MMO. There's a very, VERY good reason they streamlined the game going from 1.0 to 2.0
Even with "low res textures" this is one of the most gorgeous MMOs I've ever seen. I have trouble even playing other MMOs because they just don't measure up graphically.
And people want MORE...
