I've always been curious about this. Aren't scales (X units per
"foot") locked down early in development? It's not just MMOGs. Many
other games seem to have this issue to some extent. Is it a result
of poor communication between level builders and characters
modelers? Poor specifications? Varying builder/modeler skillsets?
