Magic Hat Software has been kind enough to share with us three more exclusive images of Irth Online, the MMORPG currently in beta testing.
Thank you to the team for the images. Dana Massey |

Well, I can't say much without breaking the nda, but by the pictures shown here, you can see that there is a lot of work to be done before release. And I see that the release date is beginning of July?? I don't know if there are enough hours in the days to get it up to snuff by then. If you look at the picture with the npc names, you can see one, standing there in his underwear.

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did. |

hooray for craptastic graphics! hello, 1995 called, they want their graphics back. I think its fun when u "strafe" in game and you just slide around on the floor like Gumby though!

Are these folks still planning on shipping the game in July? I dunno ...you think they would show better screenshots just prior to the release. It isn't even that the graphics look rather amateurish but they look as if they were just slapped together. V |

Graphics have rised up many steps after those screenies were taken. and no, official release date according to devs are "When it's ready" and they have said it seems likely it wont be ready in july... This game will maybe never have EQ2 level graphics (theres limits on what you can do with 15 people) but right now the graphics are getting very much mid-level. Feature wise this game will be pure gold to all UO and Wish fans and that's main target for whom this game is aimed for...and like me, many hardcore UO'ers have been without home for long time jumping from grind to another. |

That is good to hear! Any idea when they are going to put out more screenshots? V |

It appears that Magic Hat has not been updating their own gallery but I have found some new screenshots at RPG Vault.

Well, after seeing those screen shots, I don't think they have much of a chance to compete in this market. They might have been able to use those graphics back in the mid 1990's, but not now. |

Sure, those links showing new screenshots are not a vast improvements over what has been described as being "20 patches ago" ...I will give you that. It is possible that they are waiting until their open beta is over (which I think is tomorrow) to clean up the galleries. |

nope, not tomorrow...and they have stated that their engine can do much better...they just want all the content in first. |

all in time...if there wouldnt be nda I could blow you away by telling how feature wise Irth beats 70% of the competition and only gets better but I doubt you'd care... |

Wow, one would think that a fledgeling game company would try to put their best foot forward by releasing impressive screen shots, at the very least. Why would any potential client be lured in with poorly composed screen shots? If they put such little effort into their marketing gimmicks, I shudder to think what their actual game will be like.

Always the spin doctor, eh? I was not asking about features ...I was asking about screenshots. And I am confident that would not interfere with the NDA. But since you brought up the NDA card ...how about posting it on here? Or just sum up what you can say or cannot say? And you state that the game (already) beats 70% of the competition ...would this be 70% of the independent or the corporate competition, as you have clearly designated in another thread. Ok, fine the game is still in early beta. The devs are working hard to address all the bugs and tweak the game to perfection. Fabulous. Why not support the argument that things are really improving regarding the graphics? Boris

I personally don't see what is so special about the graphics of this game. They look fairly generic in comparison to other 3D games out there. |

I am very eager to see some new screens! So beta testing is still going on? Have the devs mentioned when that will be completed? |
