The only good thing i can say about those is that the water looks ok. You can find some on the gamespot screenshot pages aswell.

Lol, that screen looks horrible. I'm glad that the final game is so much better. Nice to see the improvement tho.

I like seeing the screenies from the testing days, it's nice to see how far GW has gone since then. I especially like seeing the ones with the pink lynxes. Why were they pink, anyway?

That's got to be the worst graphics I've ever seen in an MMORPG that you buy at a store (Runescape is the worst ever)...But I still can't help to wonder what it would have been like back then...
