    On the topic of the original question, a good game doesn't need to have graphics at all. Look at the popularity of MUDs/MUSHes--they're text-only if you don't count ASCII art. Unlike conventional MMOs, these types of games let you do literally anything you want, so it's like the ultimate sandbox experience. Just my two cents. :)

    Well now a days the graphics in games have improved greatly so I would say how it looks can help make a good game but that's not the only thing that makes it a great game. Also some of the old school games like Ragnarok uses 32 bit for the characters and monsters but it still looks pretty cool when casting spells and doing other special attacks so it doesn't have graphics no where close to say Vindictus but it still has some visual appeal.

    Not really....You can still have a great experience with a sandbox MMO that a game with amazing graphics and shallow gameplay can not match.

    I'll add my opinion to this

    For an online game, it doesn't always need the best graphics in the world. You could probably go 2d or a look-a-like anime, or even old-school and still be a great game if the gameplay and such is good. Graphics add visual appeal to the game true, but if its all graphics and almost no gameplay, then the game isn't fun imo..

    First of all, gameplay and story are the most important. If a game, no matter online or offline, has a good story, it's already 50% successful. Of course, if it has good graphics, that's better.
