Norikue pointed out the possible reason why everyone but me seemed to be stripped to their skivvies. The mysterious check box marked “Show Equipment” in the Options window, which I (of course) had checked.

Here’s what part of the crowd near the Eversun teleport point looks like with that switch checked:

CLEAR that switch, and suddenly, everyone’s wonderful clothing suddenly appears! And it also answers another question of mine – which was, how come everyone but me fights exclusively hand-to-hand?

I’m thinking something got mistranslated somewhere along the way…

While I was in game anyway, I got my pet resurrected. 680 gold – OUCH. And now it’s mad at me, so I have to play with it for fifteen minutes or so…

Text on the player stalls got squoze oddly. It’s actually readable in game. I must have some odd switch unchecked in Photoshop as well…
