While it\'s sort of active again.

Yeah, basic hand cannons would be cool. I\'d suggest that they\'d have to be crafted by a weaponsmith and alchemist, both at a high skill. And of course, the wielder must have good skill in weapon crafting, or they wouldn\'t know how to use the gun. Then you have the 10% success rate, and the 30% chance of it blowing your hand off. :) Would be a excellent weapon.

OT: I\'d like to see some type of firework as well. :)

Fireworks would be cool but could they be used as small seige weapons?? Or used to attack large mobs??
Also Planeshift is young developing game, guns should be implemented further along its lifespan, we still have plenty of other weapons to be made yet!

seeing as i play a pirate-like char. i think guns would be nice, since they had them duell shot hand pistols,

they would fit nicely under my belt next to the duel dagger i always carry

but lets first see what cb has to offer :)

ok, maybe I\'m new but I have to fight for the guns! not rifles, like gunpowder guns sor something ?? I mean like the ones that can get a bulllet jams and creates a hole in the barrel?? like underdeveloped guns as in SO underdeveloped taht it is almost scuicide, and like really innacurate. the trick of the trade, some don\'t want guns some do, allow the guns, but make them so inefficient that  few would use them, however, if a moster is hit by one, it is VERY high damage, but scince it is so inaccuratye etc... to use guns requires team coordination lots of skill, and tons of luck, but it\'s there, deadly(when it hits) and maybe piercing (goes through the frst body and hits the second for regular bow damage ????)

In short...
guns - yes
deadly - yes
accurate - no
hard to get - yes
hard to maintain - yes
lone adventurers wepon - no
relic - yes

and please do not say \"we are making a fantasy world\" because then you need to create substitutes for swords, shields, spears, staffs, and axes as known in the human world

I do however agree that ideas cannot be implenented as fast as they are given, I respect that, but I would implement a gun instead of a spell, even if it is just a box, or sphere, just to be experimental.

Hey, newbie! Get your two cents out of my ale! Oh, wait.. wrong bottle...

I like the way you put it, although I both understand and don\'t understand the \"teamwork\" aspect. would these be multiple gun-users? Or \"back up\" for the gun-user that they stand behind...

in order to actually have a chance at hitting something they have to shoot at one point almost simultaneously, and even then they would havet o cross their fingers if it is one monster/person

But Kuiper said that the only way to get the gun was to complete the GODS quest...maybe when adding a little more thought to it...the gods can travel trought time ...a little gift from future wouldnt hurt now would it??

Well maybe the God won\'t bring a gun from the future...because people will think that the God will bring an M16A4 which is not true. The God quest is more of a test to see if you truly want the gun, the Gods will then let you if you finish a hard quest.

what about big mystical towers that have huge cannons on them that shoot large jolts of energy. thatd be pretty cool. have the owned.

Have each person be able to buy their own house, then be able to upgrade it, like make it a couple more stories higher, and be able to put that kinda tower on the top of it.

gawd, i have an odd imangination

THey also have throwing weapons.

Maybe Blackpowder missiles would be neat. Hugely expensive, and you would have to use it as a defense for a guild HQ or something.

name:  everwood musket

appearance:  made of everwood,a unqiue type of wood thats very strong and can hold a metal parts of the gun in place,this musket is used in two hands,its very slow and cumbersom and you need to keep the wick alight (in the way torches are used in other MMO\'s during night time),this can be done by simply having something to light it with,the wick also runs out after a set amount of time and needs to be relit,once every 5-10 minutes?
once u have the wick lit and the ammo in the gun u can realise an armour ignoring shot,not nessesarly a powerful shot.

in game use:  it would be easier than it looks,a true sharp shooter would have in his inventory,something to light the wick,many bullets, maybe even some use for gunpower?
