What is going on with character models?

Actively working on updating character models! It's a high priority for us.

It's still on the list. It's not something that we are looking at doing really soon. It's something that our art director has been doing some R&D on and we have been talking a lot about. The challenges... How many player models do you upgrade? Do you upgrade them all at the same time? Do you do them over time? There's also the issue of, do we up the system requirements? Do we make it part of a patch? Do we make it part of an expansion? There are lots of unknowns still out there, but it is something that we would really like to do.

Why, in such a short time, did the character models go from high priority to "It's not something that we are looking at doing really soon".
It's starting to make me think that they were'nt even started, while we were told that the Dwarves were nearing completion around MoPs release, and that Orcs and Humans would be worked on immediately after. We were also told that the model updates might be released gradually and rolled out over time, with the earliest being mid-mop.
So what's with the change in priority?
