I tried out the 14 day trial this past weekend and I have to say, even on max settings I can't stand the looks of this game artistically. The newbie zones (all of them) seemed so bland, boring, and lack personality, detail and immersion. I couldn't even find myself caring about what might be around the next bend in those zones. ?(

Are the newbie zones just boring and the rest of the game's zones better? Is it just a personal taste and art flavor issue I have? It's a shame since I was hoping the game would be one I would enjoy playing once in awhile when taking breaks from WoW. ;(
