There are lots of places in the netcode that could be improved to preserve bandwidth, however, you can't risk changing so much in one patch, possibility of an exploit occuring or a bug that could cause serious damage (damaged char profiles, etc.), would be much harder to target if they changed so much. I can tell them right now that their random name generator which I looked over last night is a rather poor way of setting it up, they send the race & gender as int32s, thats ok, but they send the random name as a char[64] instead of just strlen(name), every bit helps I guess?
