The WotlK wiki has some details on activating shadows in the beta: http://wotlkwiki.info/index.php/Graphics_Upgrade I did some quick cruising around and took a few screenshots with the new terrain shadows activated in the beta client.  These shots are set to Medium (aka #2 of 6), which is “Full environmental and PC/NPC shadows, low-res, med-dist.”

June 17, 2005
