Maybe he doesn't have a good enough machine to run it. RIFT is playable with the low renderer and in low settings with the hight quality renderer. But most if not all of the eye candy is lost if you play it like this, and it starts to look much like WoW.

I was always a defender of WoW's "outdated" graphics, since they're in a "cartoonish" format. So they won't easily get outdated. Fast forward 3 years later and I have to say: WoW graphics are really outdated now. Using pretty water, sunshatfs and dynamic shadows does make it look better, but it's not enough.

You already updated the engine to DX11 Blizzard. Time to do something about the oudated player and NPC models! A little bump mapping and normal mapping would be nice too!
