I really like Silkroad Online's graphics:

http://www.silkroadonline.net/dataroom/screenshot.asp

The game is somewhere between Guild Wars and WoW in terms of detail.
The character models are unique and lovely... they've got some work to
do in the grandeur department though, from what I've seen so far. (I
think Guild Wars has it for combination of beauty, detail, and
grandeur. WoW definitely has the beauty and grandeur down.) The
screenshots I linked to are mostly action shots to show off the fancy
spell effects, but there are some nice environmental shots if you
scroll down and it's a very pretty game over all.

Too bad it sucks. Hard.
