If it's a roleplay mud then every NPC should be outfitted. Why? Well chances are not every NPC is going to get killed, in fact, laws should cut down killing to a large degree, so when someone DOES kill an NPC, it would be a real **** to have it be an NPC without clothing.

Now should they have unique clothes? Definitely not. IMO all clothes should be craftable, and NPCs are your ordinary people, so they should have ordinary commoner clothes. Now that doesn't mean every NPC is going to wear the same clothes. Look around yourself, does everyone wear the same clothes? Making different combinations of clothes will help develop their character.

Clothes are an important factor in developing an NPC. There's nothing more jarring then seeing a bartender shoeless because of a lazy builder.

However if it's not an RP mud, then I agree with Delerak, make 'em go nakked.
