2 different graphics engine can both use DX9 and still look drastically different... I don't know that this will happen here, I'm just sayin...

i am also looking forward to the complete rebuilding of the server structure. I wouldn't facetiously call it a "magical fix" though. That's like saying a construction crew working 12 hours a day for a month "Magically built me a new house"
I think it's a legitimate, reasonable fix
My only concern is that Yoshi and co. have acknowledged but aren't completely aware of how bad the server lag is when coupled with the internet latency of being halfway around the world
He can indeed reduce the server latency but he can't make the internet faster. Fortunately, he doesn't have to... 300ms round trip is still adequate for having a great gaming experience (Not on an FPS, mind you, but in an MMO, yea)
