Well, would be silly of me to expect that everyone will like the idea of changing it. I'd be surprised if a guy with ingame name "Samurai" would prefer longsword over katana
Different people have different taste...
But once again, we are sphere replica(I know it was used alot of times unnecessarily, but we really are) and it's how it was back on 0.51a.
Though, we could have sort of compromise.
What if we'd have gump that would allow us to change katana to longsword once per character? or even just add one more button on skillstone that would do it..
Or allow players to change katana to longsword and vice versa as much as they want, but take a fee for it. Something like 20k? I know you can hardly call it money sink, but I still can't see a harm in having something like that..
