Cataclysm introduced a new world revamp, making the old continents fully explorable by air the problem is, it has the same render distance from vanilla 2004, it feels like silent hill you can’t increase it, since its serverside or a setting in the engine, I don’t see the need for a foggy backround in the distance since everything is accessible now.
No need for funky little optimization tricks, our computers are 1000000x more capable then in 2004-2011 and a reason to vanish stuff behind the curtain isn’t an option anymore, it would give cataclysm a more immersive experience on a flying mount or on foot, classic also introduced the new water system, so why not a new increased render distance slider or option in our graphic settings??
Sincerly an active classic player
