I think Goji\'s got the right idea.  Instead of letting everyone have some model then having to deal with all the models and penis/pop-tart swords, the customization should just be limited.  The first thing to do would be to allow only one customization per character, and then have it so that some sort of hard quest that you couldn\'t be powered through has to be completed.  Then that person would be able to do something like make a model for the weapon on thier own and email it to one of the admins who would decide both if it\'s appropriate and whether it models the weapon well (no daggers that look like grand pianos).  I think this would make the idea much better because then you wouldn\'t just think \"yay a cool sword, thanks for lagging me %&^*!\"  You would think that the person was cool and it would inspire some sorf of corny RPG awe and a real appreciation for the person and his weapon, which should be the goal of the customization in the first place.

I don\'t claim to know anything about anything when it comes to programming making a game or anything, it just seemed to me like Goji had a good idea that would work and should be looked at more closely.
