I feel like I notice that in a lot of games, where water is the best looking graphical piece, especially in games that aren't striving to achieve top tier graphics. Like, maybe it's such a solved problem that good water physics/graphics are easily done compared to anything else.That water is to real for a game trying to be "EQish."

From my understanding - water has reached a point where any improvements upon what is standard is questionable at best. The assets are almost indistinguishable from one another and cheaply bought on the marketplace. Lastly, the standard ones are incredibly light weight / easy on hardware. The pieces Ive read could be completely fabricated - but I dont know why they would be.

Agreed. Seems they're having fun playing around with shaders and effects which, while may look cool initially, are starting to detract from the simplicity of the project.
Also the waves in the video appeared to be going the wrong direction.

I haven't been able to watch recent streams, but I really feel like if they quickly build out another biome it would attract more attention. All the progress has been amazing but we've been looking at deserts for a couple years now. Even a very unfinished biome with some other colors would make me want to tune in more.
edit: NM, i just looked at yesterday's stream and Shawn showed off the other biomes. Looks great.

This game could really end up being a homerun to play. I feel like the team has a good vision and understands what this audience is looking for in a MMO. Time will tell. Its very timely too... all the hype MMOs (Ashes, Pantheon, etc) all taking way too long. WoW expansion has concluded and who knows its future so if they can get this out, they could capture a decent number of folks if nothing else out of curiosity and boredom

This. It's one thing to have some fun little throwbacks, but going "all-in" on just remaking EQ zones is going to get old fast.
