I personally think legal weapons per char' level is ok....ie a 20th level char who has made his own weapons that can only be used by someone of 20th level is ok. But when you've got people charging around with weapons that are restricted to level 65 odd.....well there's no real point in my eyes. You can have a lvl 1 rogue with a level 60 sword?????

I had a duel yesterday.....well infact I didn't. I took a deep breath, prepared myself and died. The weapon the other guy had was astronomical, for use 40 levels above his character level. His armour class was insane too, impossible to hit. I'm not knocking people who like to play this way, indeed good luck to them. It can sometimes cause a slight frustration if you team up with someone who is 3 times faster than you and a killing machine to boot. You're not aware that they have a super weapon and armour....kind of makes your char' obsolete. This kind of thing must be happening all over the place in the mod and may in the future as the mod gets bigger and better actually kill it for some people.

I'm all for people making their own weapons/armour and using them in the mod but it must be kept realistic. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dunno if you can "fix" that Z. IMVHO, it'd be a better idea.

Very Good Job BTW Ziroc. I had a blast in there yesterday. I even liked getting stuck in the tree stump perversely enough. I roll played it like being stuck in a lift, talking to other people who got stuck with me. LOL, good job.
