Nope. It's been stated that it will be a DX9 game at launch, and there are no future plans for upgrading. That doesn't mean an expansion won't up the ante, but not in the foreseeable future.

It's been confirmed over on WHA.

Honestly no reason for it.  Maybe in 3 years MMO's will sport the need to. 

 

But as of right now, like AOC, people just don't have the power to drive a fully functional DX10 high settings with that many toons on the screen.

 

Just not worth it right now.

Only the dead have seen the end of war- Plato

It will be for dx9.

As for a dx10 mmo? I think AoC will be the first and last dx10 mmo. DX 11 is due out in 2009 with Windows 7 so why would anyone start work on a dx10 mmo? Unless there is already a dx10 mmo in the works but I haven't heard of any(bioware maybe?).

The fact that teens usually cant buy a new pc so they have crappy ones

Although the game will be compatible with DirectX 10 and Vista, it likely won't be built up around the new graphics software and its new features.

I'm fairly certain LOTRO has been dx10 for a while now.

Yup lotro has dx 10, but honestly it make a nice difference but not the life changing experience that dx10 was supposed to bring. Dont bother upgrading to vista only to get dx10, get yourself 8 gigs of ram and dual 9800 ultra before
