The models are made like that to make it easier to render on lower end machines + make it easier to build modular gear sets. When WOW came out it ran great on my machine with lots of characters around banks etc while EQ ran like a converted piece of crap unless i turned off models when raiding. We all remember the EQ2 fiasco when it came to system specs. EQ2 models are not that great at all. To this day Cataclysm runs great but SWTOR runs awful on my machine.
But.....No reason for that kerran to look like simba's homosexual brother. To be voiced by Jeremy Irons in the next film.
I am really concerned about hacking. In two weeks of release swaths of content will be wrecked and Chinese gold farmers will have a stranglehold on most of the "good" land plots. Developers ALWAYS seem to build these MMO's not thinking about consequences of hacking. You would have to have some serious GM tools to fix world issues that this could potentially have.
I also take most of this alpha hype with a grain of salt. See any Fable game for reasons why.
