Well, since the 1920s with the art styles used on the Pulps for fantasy stories. 
But also, since there is no "social element" to EQ2 to speak of.
Than this is not THAT kind of fantasy you are imagining. Never been. Armor is looking like armor (even somes colors do suck or look alike) beside that, there are lots of THAT kind of fantasy games around to hang out with. I heard they even started THAT kind of fantasy games in Second Life. They even have whips for that.
Mentioning armor lookalikes also, I don't think medieval armors looks really distinct from person to person in their categories.
You know, selch, I don't think that there is a single posting on these forums that I have ever actually agreed with you?
I actually wasn't going to "THAT kind of fantasy." Others might have been - I cannot say - but I wasn't quite going there with this subject.
And, with the idea that medieval armors looking similar. I believe that is why surcoates were invented.
