This will possibly be the first pre-emptive strike to take all the Windows 98 users out of game, either forcing them to upgrade their machines (not just their vidcards) or leave the game. To be honest, not sure how to feel about this even though I am running DX9 on an XP machine. I still wonder how many EQers may not be able to afford new machines, that are now just barely holding on with a vid/sound chipset. I hate to see some people left behind simply because they cannot afford a new machine.

Buit still, I fully understand what they are trying to do here. I really just wish they would leave EQ at DX 8 and not force anyone totally out because of equipment deficiencies.
