Medieval costumes are piece of history itself. By what the costume the person is wearing, you can tell what their social status is. If you see a player, he will most likely be wearing a plain looking medieval costume that is just the basics. If you see someone of higher value like a lord or such, they will have a three piece suit on and it will be brightly colored and with great detail. Medieval costumes that are greatly detailed are for lords and those of a higher class. Medieval costumes that are plain, dark colored, and sometimes even ripped and such are obviously for those who are of low class and they are usually skills men.
