                         As most of us know, you get many items in rpgs. I had the idea of making personalizable items, so that you could give a unique
                         setting to your character. Perhaps even offer a quest to reward another pc with a personalized item. This would allow unique
                         items to spread across lands, which would carry on the legacy of long ago warriors.

                         I would suggest that you would be able to name your items, maybe insert some jewelry or other valuable metal, getting your
                         weapons enhanced with magic or more durable metals around the edge.
                         Weapon maintenance should also be important, sharpening, weapon and armor oils (to keep the moisture off), spells would
                         require recharging, otherwize they dissapear (the mage can earn a quite a lot of money on this).

                         I\'ve heard Planeshift will have personalized items, but they will just look pretty, no specail powers or anything, but the
                         personalized items will cost real money (which is a great way to help with the bills)

Just thought I\'d extend some of the really old ideas made by Talad and perhaps squeeze some response out of \'em.  Just listen up and build on them yourself

With personalized items I thought that maybe you could craft them yourself at some point, and if you\'re a magic type enchant them to have special properties.  On Neverwinter Nights a lot of people on the roleplaying servers would create custom items and name them so that they could have their own stats.  Also items with a characters name on could be dropped to make for some interesting rp.  I think that a good item to pick up for roleplaying and the like would be \"Links Magical Blade of NoobArseKicking\" or something.  Whaddya think?
