I'm also hoping that each and every weapon will be different..
Or perhaps, go to a blacksmith shop, and have the smithy make you
a personal set of chainmal! Complete with your own personal symbol and
everything! If this could be like a 3d mud.. the possibilities are simply 
endless! people get promoted to Wizard level, and they go around making 
buildings offline, and loading them up for the other players to aprove of!
Also, if a certain group of players were to form a guild, they could open 
a guildhall, with a sign and a locked door that only the members have..
perhaps distinguishing weapons or armor.. (a black-bladed flaberge, for
example, or a winged helm.)
And weapons.. I hope they have bountiful numbers of them..
if this game is as good as ID says it's gonna be, no one will go to work
 in 96 :)

I can see it now..
