...and the problem 1.0 had is that they went overboard with the graphics quality so the game caused issues with people that didn't have the latest gaming rig. If you want an MMO to be successful you need to open it up to as many players as possible. I didn't play in 1.x and maybe it did look better but the game as it is now looks great and most importantly it uses little system resources even up fairly high; the devs did a great job with the client. The bottoms were reshaped to allow for better gear. Bigger bums cause problems with the gear.
