Icelandic developer CCP Games has announced its plans to drop the Classic graphics mode from its popular online title EVE Online.  Players of the game will be left with only the “Premium” visual mode, which debuted in 2007 to update the game’s look.

CCP explains that the game’s Classic mode was hindering development of its MMO, as anything new created needed to support both versions of the game.  “It simply doesn’t allow us to make EVE look as beautiful as we want,” the company explains in its announcement.

Replacing the Classic mode will be a middle ground.  A new “Premium Lite” graphics option will allow some Premium features to be scaled back, helping dated, lower-spec PCs support the change.
