I've been following the development of this engine for a long time. Glad to see it get a big break in a major game. Looking forward to playing with it myself.

Some good stuff. The mountains look really good, and the forest is pretty. I subscribed to the EQ beta just the other day, so look forward to having a go... Probably I'll spend ten minutes with it, and get frustrated with my lack of artistic ability, but just maybe it'll work for me.
