WoW is arguably the best MMORPG on the market. I for one would rather they copy it than any other game. I'd love it if SWG 2 were just WoW with Star Wars clothes (but then I've said that before).

Not too bad for alpha screens. Textures are pretty low rez and it looks like there's zero special effects going on. I hope they update the dwarf models to make them look a little more muscular or something. Right now they look like short versions of my dad with mowhawks.

  IIRC, as you level, physical appearance changes. Your character is supposed to get more muscular looking. : johnny skidmarks

    I also read somewhere that for dwarves their beard will grow as they level too. : MH Knights

It does look like WoW, but it also looks like Dawn of War and it also looks like Games Workshop art for Warhammer.

I actually prefered the original Warhammer Online art direction it was way more gritty and seemed to be going for a mature rating. I can understand why they've gone for this direction as it will have a wider market.
