- Unnecessarily crude map designs and some world textures look like blatant placeholders.
- Poor optimization. WoW Classic is prettier and runs on a toaster. This game "sorta" runs on a toaster but looks pretty bad with jaggies and the monsters and mobs stuttering across in the distance as if it were literally Classic Everquest.

I know no one asked for my opinion, but a lot of the textures are blatant placeholders
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] you probably already know this, but I watched in live-time as they started to add more and more textures to certain zones and dungeons. Also I was shocked at how much Faelindral changed between my first play test and the second play-test.
I also feel like... MnM requires more than a toaster PC. I have a 4080 and had a 5800x and this combo ran MnM pretty well, but I would drop down to 30-40 FPS in Night Harbor and stuff like that. I have to assume my friends with lesser PCs would be chugging in the same areas. Saw quite a few people in-game complaining about it. Upgrading to 9800x3d definitely solved all FPS problems, but that's not really a toaster processor.
And I'm not really sure if Classic WoW existing will be a huge reason why people don't play MnM. And I'm not a WoW hater either. I still play an unhealthy amount of WoW even in 2026, but when it comes to Classic WoW... I feel like that ship has sailed for a lot of us. None of my WoW friends get crunk for Classic WoW .... even when Nightslayer launched... I couldn't get any of them to play with me. So it's hard for me to envision MnM launching and people being like welp, I decided Classic WoW looks better so I'm going to go play that instead.
Also to me, MnM is the best looking MMO I've ever played. The lighting and environment feel so real, I find myself sitting along the coast in Oasis drinking coffee and staring at the sunrise reflecting off the ocean. Glancing at huge landmarks in the distance and wondering what's over there because I realize that it's a real place in the game. I just don't get that in WoW at all. I was thinking about that last night... how the new Silvermoon City would look epic if it actually had night time, but lighting doesn't even exist in a game like WoW.
