I think with full plate, that it should not be available at just any vendor... I think a quest of some sort would be interesting. Kind of like the shop in Zhentil Keep where you can customize the color of your clothes... I think it would be kind of nice to allow that for armour... but also have a mix in it like the Fighter's Guild does with the weapons master, where you possibly learn to use full plate... and have to go and find materials for the armor smith... and bring it back... and that would also help with the cost factor too... so that those who may not be fully experienced have an opportunity, but also maybe have some of those objects be in a place where people under level 20 or 30 can't fight there. Now... that would also open up opportunities for roleplay for them to hire out higher levels to come with them, but I think we can all agree that that opens this to being abused. Hence, the cost being placed in there, or a level requirement for the quest would be good. My only concern with what I've said here, and what every one is saying, is that it will be abused and then suddenly everyone will have full plate. It won't have any benefits during pkill situations or sparring and such. Or am I just from the roleplay time a few years ago where that happened more often, and it's not a big thing anymore? Besides... I think the game has taken a more realistic approach lately, I mean, we have to realize we're not playing table top D&D. When we die, and there's no priest... the campaign doesn't end... this is an on going game, with rp, and anyone can start and stop at any time and not affect the rest... well too much. I just think that everyone is kind of sounding a little (and no offense) whiney about not having this and not having that. I've always viewed this place as a roleplay environment... this isn't World of Warcraft where you grind all day long for bigger and better items. You develop a character. A second personality if you will. At least that is how it was a few years ago when I was here, and I think it would be nice to see more roleplay. *ducks and hides behind a brick wall waiting for the backlash*

Please don't feel that way!

The staff reads your posts seriously in order to evaluate your comments or observations and improve the game. If you identify a genuine need then we are grateful for you noticing it! We will not incorporate every suggestion, but we will consider each one and discuss it. The gist of my comment to Brar was just that debating if this is historical or fantasy and which means what was a little off-topic at that point. No, Brar wasn't the only one and I probably started it myself, but Lathlain was trying to identify a need so that he could act upon it.

We want your help to make this game better. Keep posting with things that you believe might do that and we will keep reading! Thanks!

As he says, you brought an interesting discussion :)
And Harrogthy was true, we were getting off topic there and loosing the focus on the matter at hand :P
Keep the suggestion coming, that's how the game can improve (trust me, even the dumbest suggestion find its way to the staff ears, that's my speciality)

Never regret a question that sparks a discussion. Some of the best ideas around here sparked from simple questions that wandered off.

Yeah lol Don't worry about posting anything... we're the ones who kinda went down a totally different path, and blew it up big, and started debating crap... this happens a lot on the forums from what I've seen over the years. Opinions rock, don't hide them. It's a suggestion... so we all have to put our input in and pick on each other, and hash it out... it's fun! lol
