    That is AWESOME. I love this idea.

    What if the plaque was on the frame of a portrait of your character? We have portraits of NPCs, but what if we could go to a special NPC and pay to have a portrait done of our character, and have our name and title on it?

    While I don't disagree that'd be interesting, I see that as a totally different housing item idea. That's way more complexity than needed for what I'm talking about (showing off titles), and waaaay more memory to store. BUT! It would be pretty cool. Your suggestion is like an awesome form of armor stands - instead of just the armor sitting there on a stand in your house, you'd have a portrait on the wall of you in the armor. The focus there would be on the portrait itself, not on the name/title, which would be kinda tacked on. But, again, that'd be pretty darn expensive as far as housing memory goes.

    A dynamic portrait like that would be really expensive to store, incorporating character appearance customization, armor, dyes, pose, etc. Sure, one isn't that bad, but you wouldn't have one, you'd have 4-10 per house. Even if they limit it to one per house, people would still put them in personal rooms. They are so low on memory, I'd rather they keep dynamic stuff as simple as possible until everyone can have a house. If they did add something like that, it'd probably be put in the cash shop to compensate for the extra memory used.
