... we mean it.
This cost Atvar 1501 qps. So I would strongly suggest that everyone re-familiarise themselves with the retooling rules, at https://web.archive.org/web/20031229205645/http://...wotmud.org/forums/viewtopic.php?type=0&topic=39772&forum=10&0 - and we'll be showing no tolerance. Don't make stupid names for weapons. This is not a "difficult to understand" rule. No "a pair of green shoes." No "a tainted blade in the shape of a door wedge". No "a really seriously big axe of crazy proportions". Do not make a name which any staffmember could possibly consider stupid - can I be any clearer than this?
