I imagine part of the reason the evolution of vampyres went the way it did is because of the vampire romance fads our culture has been going through the past few years. As they are, the vyrelords have retained their elegance, their regal clothing, their proud attitudes. Now, though, rather than becoming (nauseatingly) pale, cold, myseterious sex symbols, Jagex took it in a more honest direction and made them into bat-like mutations of humans... which is exactly what they are.

I s'pose what I'm saying is, Ranis is still a well-refined (bloodthirsty) gentleman with a well-groomed moustache, he's just also not a human. That other image isn't obsolete so much as stuck in Twilight.
