Just come across these two videos from the recent FanFaire, the camera work is shaky and the video isn't great, but even with that I can see why the developers were saying that they thought they were looking at a completely different game when they swapped to shader 3.0 on the GPU's.
Part 1Part 2For me though I think its the one thing that was missing with the EQ2 graphics before, they didn't seem to use light and shadows so well, looks like they have nailed it here. The talk of having a new torch slot really does show how much of a change this is, seriously impressed here.
And wishing I did head to the Fanfaire £600 air faire or not, next year!
