Got some interesting ideas from reading this thread.
I tend to use standard equipment for each character class while gaming, but all that changes when I'm ready to sit in a channel. I always take my hat off, for one thing, unless my character happens to have some sort of circlet-class headgear. If my gaming armor is ugly, I'll switch to something nicer. My sorceresses and amazons wield giant axes. These weapons are drawn bigger than any other axe, so they really stand out. I get all manner of responses, as you might imagine, from the general b.net populace.
We also have some color-coordinated characters. There is an all-red druid, an all-dark blue druid, an all-light blue druid, an all-blue sorceress and an all-green sorceress. On nights that they're all present it's quite the rainbow effect. Hardcore sorceresses wielding potions, or hardcore barbarians dual-wielding potions, are also good for a laugh.
Anyway, good ideas folks. Wish I was more creative when it comes to gameplay in D2.
