WoW's look and feel were jaw-dropping nearly ten years ago, when the reigning king of the MMO space was EQ.

I still have the short videos from ECTS back in 2001, and, frankly, the game hasn't changed much... Hell, the model used for Loken was killed in a preview video back in 2002 I think it was (In arena combat, by a Tauren and an Orc if memory serves).

So, while folks may say the game looks 'dated', because it's five years old, they don't realize they're looking at models and textures that are, in some cases, nearly ten years old. :)

A true testament to the art direction of this game - Lok'tar Ogar Samwise, Lok'tar Ogar!
