Possible SPOILER information below












I have seen the Langseax go for 15pp on Bertoxx also..have even heard of
people giving them away because they have so many. 1600 people on at peak
times..how many Warriors or Warrior twinks on the server? At this rate the
Langseax is going to be virtually worthless in a short time..so something
needs to be done to take items out of the game. I think decay over time is
a good idea. I play a Warrior as well as a Bard and I wouldn't mind seeing
a repair skill added to fix weapons, armor, etc..

A short term fix to reduce the number of Langseax would be to put a switch
in. Have a Frostbite for the Langseax and a 'Frostbitten' (sorry its early)
in another area for the Langseax of the Wolves. Obviously you wouldn't get
Paglan's head every time in this scenario.
