  Actually, there is primative sound ability (it will make some sound as you 
hack through that hallway).  However, I don't know what client/platform you are 
using, and whether sounds is supported on that.

  Some of the character classes/races have that (alternative between two images 
as it moves/attacks).  However, I don't believe that animation has been done for 
all characters images.  So it sounds like you are playing a character that is 
not as animated.

  Also, depending on what is being killed, it's death may be more obvious than 
others - eg, the the very wimpy starting monsters (kobolds) tend not to have any 
treasure, so just disappear.  Slightly tougher monsters tend to have loot, so 
the loot shows up on the space.
