Nevertheless, if everybody make an effort we could find a compensation for R/R owners: For example, they could change a R/R weapon for a R/R cloth or something.
R/R are infact useless. It´s only fashion... What do everybody think?

Hahaha ;p

The R/R weapons are actually the highest and most rare prize you can get in a tourney at this point. It is a deed which you can use on any weapon you like, to rename it with your own special name, and a color of your choice. Most people choose to keep it for one of their real nice supremely accurate vanquishing-weapons in order to have an real cool colored and renamed tourney weapon. The reason most people choose to use it as a tourney weapon is because it does not newbify the weapon, and it is so rare, so most people do not dare using it outside of tourneys, which is understandable.

The R/R weapon deed is worth about as much as 100 r/r cloth deeds pretty much, so that commend was real funny actually, haha, I loved that *cuddles*

why not make possible to craft colored weapons to match real magical weaps?

Being able to create "magical weapons" (ruin, might, force.. etc etc) out of ingots - colored with the same color as the ingots - has been a future over at XUO in the past. However what it did was to "lower the rareness" of R/R weapons, it was pretty much "not so special" to run around with a colored weapon anymore, everybody had them, and people rarely bothered to look at the name to see if it was a cool real rare R/R weapon, or a normal shitty colored weapon from ingots.

People who got their R/R weapon deeds had to decide upon a really rare color which could not be made with ingots, to make people at least LOOK at it, but it's still no fun for them if there's real good colored weapons all around the world, since that is such a high rare prize in the tourney =/

Maybe some simples colours

Perhaps. But coloring weapons at all will make r/r weapons be a lot less desirable, even if the weapons people run around with aren't "as cool colors", I mean a colored weapon is still cool even if it is not a rare color =/

Just the fact that people now are able to get a newbied R/R hatchets by GMing lumberjacking, a newbied R/R pickaxe from mining, or a newbied R/R bow, kind of ruins a huge part of the R/R weapons purpose, since that makes the R/R weapons a lot less desirable and rare. However that was a big part of the IN-world and that is why we kept it, since we do honor the agreement of the merge.

People usually fight to win a R/R weapon to look cool and good with it, not because it is good (after all you still can't see how good it is after you rename it). Having a NEWBIED weapon which pretty has the same "coolness" as the R/R weapon, one that you can get just by GMing a skill, already lowers that "coolness" a lot from winning those R/R weapons.

I think adding rare colors to weapons may lower or pretty much ruin that coolness and specialness completely out of R/R weapons, and that is why I do not think it would be a good idea. Plus I like the fact that you don't see players run around with colored weapons everywhere, that makes it way more worth fighting to win one, because when you actually get one your weapon will be one of the few coolest weapons at the shard, not just "one out of thusand colored weapons".

However I do agree with the fact that we should try and make blacksmithing even more useful. Perhaps we could make it so that you are able to craft magic good weapons (ruin, might, force, power, vanquishing) with it, but just NAME them "A adamantium bardiche of vanquishing" or something, but still keep it the normal color. Sure it may ruin some of the "feel" that it is a adam weapon, but it still gives the blacksmiths another thing to earn cast with, and I believe that people will buy their weapons either way, because vanquishing weapons are pretty hard to come over, and them being able to craft them will be a real cool future no matter if they can make them colored or not. Plus them being able to make force weapons and stuff will probably be pretty useful for "outside of tourney duels". I can imagine how people would buy those weapons from blacksmiths all the time, since they would be too lazy to HUNT for weapons like that, but they have the cash to buy them, and they won't be thaaat expensive if they buy a force weapon, but still expensive enough for the blacksmith to earn money on them.

Anyways I dunno what you think about that idea, but at least it won't ruin the rareness of R/R weapons, and I think colored weapons (even with normal hues) may do that. This is however just a suggestion, just like yours, I'm not saying that we CAN'T or WON'T have those normal hue weapon in the future, I'm just saying why I think it may mess up things :/

[SIZE="4"]By the way! I almost forgot one important thing![/SIZE] As far as I am aware we will be adding the "hell's halberd" and stuff like that, which is a part of the IN-legacy. These are (as far as I am aware) colored weapons, which makes fire-damage on hit and stuff like that. I believe that these weapons are crafted by blacksmiths? so that should help the blacksmiths a lot! :]
