I didn't know where else to put this, so here goes:
I just got a new computer and hooked it up to my small LCD HD TV. Understand that this was a jump from a computer with 2 GB of RAM with no external graphics card and a processor that was probably 10 years old to a computer with 12 GB of RAM with a good external graphics card with a more recent processor. The game is just night and day different.
I can now get on a cannon on the gunship in IoC and actually see the keep and players I'm supposed to be shooting at. Deepholm was shockingly different and clear. Before, it was just a roving farclipped wall. Now, it's a beautiful colorful zone. This afternoon, I spent 15 minutes just flying above Stormwind, because it looked so beautiful and clear. Told Barad actually had rain and pools of water had textured skins on their tops. Instances and battlegrounds loaded almost instantly, and I don't get "chunking" the moment I first meet the enemy in a battleground or the moment I fly into a new area in Stormwind. This is just amazing.
Also, I want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am for all of the help and support I received from the Stormrage Lurkers community. As you probably know already, I took an opportunity to join a Mass Exodus heroic progression team. It's a really good situation for me as the group is right where I am -- having defeated Heroic Morchok but wanting to gradually tackle all of the bosses. We didn't get a new boss down this week, but we made some good attempts. Also, we did complete a couple Dragon Soul achievements (Take the Rainbow and Maybe He'll Get Dizzy) and made some attempts at a couple of others that we should get down next week.
I just want to say thank-you so much for all of the help and putting up with dozens of my newbie questions. I will definitely be available to assist in any way I can. I'm still on the Avarice chat channel, and if you could use my assistance with Lurker raids or whatnot, just let me know.
