As you start up the game and move passed the patch client (and the corresponding initial download), you notice the vastly improved presentation. You are greeted with random game art during loading screens similar to that seen in Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It looks really nice and polished. You also notice the widescreen display. This works well in keeping parts of the user interface such as hotkeys from interfering with your view. When you get to the main menu, you immediately see the upgrade in graphics. This is one of the most beautiful graphics engine in an MMORPG and will certainly not go out of date overnight.
