EQ II has a vanity system that I rather liked, which is something I cannot say for WoW's vanity system for example. In EQ II, you get a separate tab for your vanity gear, called "Appearance Tab". It looks like your normal equipment tab except that you can equip old armor that you like the look of, or gear designed specifically to be cosmetic, and your gear's appearance will be replaced with what is in the Appearance Tab.
