Graphics Upgrade

[Soul-Blade]

Alright. I know this idea will likely be forgotten quickly, just as the space combat was, but I'm throwing this out there anyway.

The current graphics are...average to say the least. The graphical effects are like something I would expect from a freeware game. I would personally never pay to play a game with those kinds of graphics (no offense to those who have).

What I am proposing (and am offering my help in the matter) is slowly transforming the server with some more realistic graphics which step far, far away from the current graphics. What I am proposing are more realistic effects such as the star field in the background moving at a different speed then the tiles. Making the character sprites more realistic proportionally and making them 8 directional, or how ever many directions needed to make vehicle driving easier, and firing weapons easier.

If this was created into something much more visually pleasing then it would be a great deal easier to attract new players. People don't want to play a game like this; they want to play a game with nice realistic graphics or nice anime-cartoon graphics. Zone has neither, if anything it has low quality anime-cartoon graphics. What I am asking is at the very least make them high quality anime graphics, or at best make nice realistic graphics.

If nothing else, I think 8 directional character sprites is a more then reasonable proposal. 4 directions is simply insane for this type of a game.

Anyway, take what I've said how you want. I think it is a good idea. Hopefully everyone else does as well.
