That all makes sense, thanks! Being an ironman, limited to only grey
armor, makes it a bit tricker to get everyday clothing sets, but then
I don't actually stop in town much on that character, I'm always on my
way somewhere, I'd guess wearing my armor when I quickly pop into an
armourer's shop for repairs isn't too odd! :-) My banker already has a
nice dress, might improve her outfit a little then.

I never thought of the standing on objects, or jumping huge distances,
good point! As for running, that's a tricky one; there's a lot of
non-RPers around, and so those who walk stand out a lot... and I don't
particularly want people to take my walking as meaning I want to
actively RP, when I'm completely useless at that lol. Luckily it's
mainly SW where RP happens and again, I mainly just pass through on my
way somewhere now, can always RP being in a tremendous hurry I guess
;-)
