Btw, I don't think the death shroud is the only RP item in the game, otherwise you wouldn't have people in the RP section of the forums asking for special items, like a sword name 'ancient's wrath' or whatever, or special colored skin, etc. To me these are all RP rewards for doing a good job, so while the death shroud might be the coolest item, it isn't really the only RP item, at least to me anyways.

I forgot skintone, though it isnt even an item. As for weapons, those are not normally given out because r/r weap is a pvp reward. However there are some exceptions, such as poseidon getting a r/r trident, which was obviously kinda crucial to his rp, but its a complete suck weapon. You can really get pretty much anything as a RP'er if its central to your RP, but pvp'ers are limited to just things like clothes etc. Which is what this whole thing is about if we can get back to that. Let me make it clear, it was during discussions with xuo vets that the ideas for lanterns/candles, jewelery, etc. being added to the stone came up. So while your an xuo player, please dont assume just because you dont want something that others dont.

Maybe you should have asked why I'm not interested in a R/R lantern but I am in R/R clothes... Here's why; when I'm running around wearing clothes that doesn't stop me from carrying a weapon. Running around with a lantern means I can't use a bow when hunting or a pickaxe to mine and now I have to hide the R/R lantern I just spent tickets on and it becomes useless, unimpressive to everyone around me while my R/R cloths still look cool and make me look unique.

And what about people who already have r/r cloth, or rp/pvpers who have shroud? A lot of the GM skill rewards are r/r items you have to unequip at times, does that make them less cool? No.

There are also people who have newbied clothes which they have dyed their color and see no need for renamed. So what use are clothes to them? There are a lot of things your not considering.

On XUO R/R cloths and weapons were the biggest reward you could get. Sure there was other stuff like dye tubs but showing off one that turned out ugly (most of the time) wasn't as 'cool' as being in full R/R gear.

Yes lets not ever try to improve anything above and beyond what xuo was.
