I think you misread the post. He's asking if World of Warcraft has gotten any updates to its video engine.

A blue has already posted that MoP is getting a minor update to its video engine; however, you and I are not in the same boat. I've always liked the graphics of World of Warcraft and, on the other hand, strongly dislike the character models from any game that uses the Gamebryo engine (RIFT, WAR, etc). So, I can't really answer your question since I don't want WoW to ever look like RIFT in any way, shape, or form.

To me, WoW will always look like WoW and if you didn't like the graphics during the first 7.5 years that it's been around, I don't think MoP is going to be a game changer for you.
