New Graphics for players - shows armor, weapons, etc.

I think Illarion should do something similar to Diablo II. When you equip an item it shows it on your character. I know many elves that use swords, yet the look like they're holding bows. I know many dwarves that don't use clubs. And I know many orcs that do not use spears. It would make it much more realistic if it showed the weapons you are holding/using. It would help with the problem of archers in large groups (sniping people out and not getting in trouble because no one knows if the person uses a sword or bow). Also, it would show clothes that were made. The only bad thing is what if a person has no armor? Then you should have some defalt clothes so they aren't naked. That is my proposal, take it or leave it...

This idea has been brought up before but the programmers don't have time yet to make all the neccessary graphics for this idea.

...not to mention hat SUCH a thing would GREATLY increase network traffic, resulting in much MORE food for the lag demon.

If the weapon someone is using shows, then it would make it easier for PK's to kill people. If someone was currently holding a wand, and another was holding two shields, the PK would target the one with the least armor. It would be more realistic like alot of things, but it would make the game harder.
