Said on a forum for a game you play that has graphics from 1999 lol
I think you misread him. A game from 1999 can look aesthetically good compared to a game from 2015-2020.
Example for two 3d platformers: Sonic Adventure from 1999 aged immediately while Banjo & Kazooie from 1998 still looks aesthetically pleasing for what it was trying to do.
I'll agree that certain parts of Everquest looked bad even from back then. Karana zones are 3x larger than other zones like EC/WC and uses a single 32x32 ground texture to cover the entire zone. There are parts of Krana that look blurry and ugly compared to the more compact zones of EC/WC ect. Even the models, despite having limited and stiff animation and limited faces at the time, they still have a great deal of charm into in them. You want an ugly MMO from back then? Take a look at what Asheron's Call originally looked like.
