Poignard,
Swiftblood Blade
and Falchion
(symbols are
already in the
clients art)
with a suggestion for a
scythe type weapon.
I had tried out weapons mentioned, and others, included but yet unused, on a private server, years ago (1; 2; 3). Is there any reason why they still are not available yet?

I wouldn't mind seeing halberds implemented.  I actually have one of those that I've used in martial arts, and it comes close to the type of weapon you are describing, Knightspark.  It's close to 6 ft [2 meters?] long and has a spearhead on one end, with a curved, blunted blade perpendicular to the shaft, as well as a slightly weighted base.  The only problem with weighting the base like a mace is that it will throw off the balance of the weapon and make it difficult to use.  With bladed longer weapons, you want them to be a bit top-heavy, to add momentum, not evenly balanced or bottom heavy, at least in my experience. 

I agree though, that it might be nice in the future to see weapons that are part of the culture of the individual races. 

And as for throwing knives... some of us already RP those...

Also, it's more credible to others if you grow in power slowly over time.  First kill rats, then noobs, then klyros, and eventually work your way up to more powerful creatures ~ Miomai

After months of thought I've added one more thought. A type of bladed shield. A small rectangular shield with a blade on the outer edge. The blade extends 12 - 18" beyond the wearers hand like a dagger but anchored to the shield to allow stronger slashing and chopping. A similar blade extends off the back, beyond the elbow to allow backstabbing. There could also be a heavy spike or boss extending below the hand grip for hammering. A melee weapon, short range and quick. Presumably named after a smith or warrior who was involved with it in the past.

Well, if you propose historic weapons - propose katanas as well.

did somebody say boomerang?

And what about a slingshot, a hookshot, or bombs? Or maybe a mirror shield that can protect against Crystal Way magic?

There is the Crystal Mirror spell already, which really fits for reflecting magic.
