Well, we're on the same page here. I love lots of weapons and I think ther should be more. Actually, the server is already going down the right path: it has numerous weapons: Swords, bows, snowballs, naginata, bamboo shoots, and catapults. Hopefully more will be made very soon.
Actually, the naginata NPC could be edited just a little to work for many different pole-arms. But, the long sweeping movements of the naginata would never be immitable by a bardiche, so it might look weird.
