Stating the obvious here:
Tyche is thinking about the "distance" plug-in, which shows the distance to target. Not the "draw distance" plug-in, which just makes backgrounds and stuff load from further distances, resulting in pretty screenshots.
Edit:
I can't help but think that the LS this topic was about is sighing in relief as this thread dispels itself into a WHM@bahamut v2 thread.
Edit 2: Rocl beat me, oops.
