While modleing or taking after an established game's resources will gain acceptance, it does not establish your game as a leader in it's own rights.

I noticed your characters looked like Vikings. My recommendation would be to do a little research into how their structures looked and the functionality. Then you can tweak it into something that will come to represent your style and game.

Just my 2 cents because I hate clones that released! But I'm ok with people using a copy of the original as a learning session! :)

Actually the WoWish modeling is for the most part gone now, and the characters in the last screenshot are dwarves, long bearded midgets. That is simply how they look.
