Interesting indeed.
Superficial objects like those almost static ones are more for games with guns and the likes, I guess. If you shoot at some people and hit a vase, you want the vase to break. What annoys me in some games is that you can't even move the vase and tip it over by walking on to it in many games.
But as David says... if developers started making use of the stuff they spend hours on making movable, it would definitely be less of a waste.
HL2 (especially Garry's Mod) is an ok example of that at times. (even if it's used as a projectile, a can does not hurt, so let's not talk further about that.)
But I digress. Dinner.

I just finished a 6 player melee on that game, awesomeness.
At the moment it's only windows, though Ian says it'll be cross-platform when it's released. No you can't get in the beta, not currectly, too close to release, and if you had tried earlier you wouldn't have been able to, the beta was only for windows.

BOOOOOOOOOOT CAAAAAAAAMP!
BTW I'm in the 9Dragons Closed beta and it kicks major ass. Think Jade Empire (My favorite RPG ever) online, with clan-specific fighting styles.
