Blessing Your Blade

Ok that sounded quite grand....... but alas alll i mean is that when you get to say level 30 and your beast thats taken an agonisingly long time to level up, maybe, just maybe there could be a way of renaming your Blade. Par exemple......
'Tienno is ............. in one hand he carries 'Loriel' and is in a healthy condition.'
This would replace '...in one hand he carries a Halberd'
another possibility could be '.....in one hand he carries a halberd with a description reading 'Loriel'
Just another idea

Weapon renaming has come up many times, and it never goes down well.

I think it would be a good idea, stop everyone looking the same. If people using inappropriate names is a problem however, just make it so that when you 'submit' your idea for a name change, it goes on the site. Then when a staff member goes to the site, they enter in their name + password next to it, and the weapon is renamed. That would stop people from using rude names.

good idea too have it controlled by staff, it may cause some problems to start with as there are quite a few arch's in the game but that would settle down because its not every day that someone becomes arch......... well not every single day lol. Would also discuise what weapon they were carrying and make it more interesting, gives pride over what people have worked for........ i always love a bit of pride over whats taken me ages to complete.

Yes, customized equipment has come up in the past. JLH didn't agree with it. Personally I feel some sort of system that acknowledges the rank of arch is necessary whether it be custom naming of weapons I'm unsure of. Some say that it would interfere with new weapons coming into the game, but yes It can be monitored tightly to prevent that,

Thanx for the input Stotic, i do believe that something should be made for arches to acknowledge they have done well

I think I mentioned before that it would make rare weapons less special if everyone has different named weapons . . .

I don't like it because the game wouldn't know what all the different weapons were, and would go mad working out what all the different names of weapons actually were the same as. eg. hally.

yeah i was thinking this would be a good way to rob ppl off. like if you get arch you buy a rubber knife, rename it to Blade of Time and sell it to someone lol. or rename it to something else and say it was a BoT 
edit: you could then buy a real bot which would mean you just bought a bot for the price of a rubber knife
although i do like the idea lol

Simon there was no need for that last comment, It surprises me that a man of your stature can resort to petty insults, I dont go bagging you and there was certainly no need to say what you said. I posted a suggestion, even if it also says ........is carrying a halberd with a description "whatever name you wanna put here" to give less confusion its a valid suggestion, so please have the decency to treat me with the same respect i give to everyone.

It only sounds far fetched to us, who are not native speakers of the English tongue and actually know the correct way to pronounce L'oreal. If you think about how English speaking people who don't know the correct pronunciation of L'oreal would pronounce it, it sounds almost the same as Loriel.
