Servers can also be linked, to create truly massive campaigns and worlds. Moreover, maps will automatically scale - as people join, the enemies will become more numerous and stronger, to keep things challenging for any number of players. All of this is presented splendidly. A full 3D engine has been developed for the game, and it looks great. The environments are nicely rendered, but there are also a lot of smaller touches - hair and clothing move independently.
Dynamic lighting looks incredible, with torches flickering and shadows dancing across the landscape.
Magical weapons and equipment show their properties - a frost sword has a chilly blue aura with cold dripping from the blade. Another nice feature is the combat animations - as fighters are attacked, for example, they'll parry the blows.
