I really feel as if Kingsisle is spending too much time on Pirate101, a game that (in my personal opinion) is inferior to W101. The graphics in Pirate101 are very satisfying, and I'd love to see Wizard101 hold the same aesthetics. Although the landscapes in W101 are pleasing to the eye and don't need much work, our wizards that we create need lots of tweaking.
I find that the male and female hairstyles and very unattractive, as well as their faces. I mean for 2008, the graphics were great! I was very infatuated with it back then. But by today's standards, they are a little.. repulsive. This game is lovely and a lot of us Potter fans are pleased with it because it's the closest thing to a Harry Potter MMORPG we've got, so a graphics upgrade would be amazing.
I also think that if the graphics were up to today's standards or closer to it, more people would be inclined to participate in the game.
