Also one question about this... Will every item have a different stat? will everything be unique or are there some "exact" copies of items?
A brand new steel long sword is probably the same as the next brand new steel long sword. There aren't supposed to be any "stats" in the conventional take-my-turn-by-clicking-a-mouse sense. Use will make them slightly different as they wear differently and stuff.
This largely depends on if I get combat working the way I want or have to fall back on the lamer click-to-roll-the-dice approach.
