Well if ya think about it that's got to be a factor as to why this game has stayed a bit behind the curve graphically all this time. It always has been really. I'm sure AH could be a lot prettier but that would in fact leave quite a few players that are in it today, out of it because their rigs just wouldn't be up to it. I was one of those guys for a while after they made a big graphics jump a few years ago. Bought a 1GB AGP graphics card just to run the game but my PC was still gagging and wheezing to make any sort of playable FR. I threw in the towel and finally upgraded to a new PC that would allow me to play anything on the market today and totally rock it but I know everybody isn't in that club. I'm glad to have so many flying.
