It was a different time, the novelty of the experience made up for the lower frame rate. A stable 30fps used to be considered good, and 15fps was fine for a game like WoW which didn’t really need to rely on buttery smooth gameplay.
The internet was also just a lot slower back then, too, so in one sense the framerate only needed to be as good as your ping, essentially.
The 15 FPS indicator is the icing on the cake.
The standards we used to put up with…
Back when games were measured by how enjoyable they were rather than a little number in the corner.
Or, in this case, but the amount of numbers in every corner 🙃
It’s not enjoyable to play at low fps though? I don’t get it
