A lot of the textures in the game don't even look very high quality, especially in terrain. I've really been scratching my head about why it costs them so much memory. Same goes for loading other player models. True, they are high quality. But there are other MMOs out with thousands more players logged in at the one time that don't have these problems, and other MMOs with comparable levels of graphical quality for the player models, once again they don't cost GB of memory to load at a slow pace.
