The only thing I see is what does "the strongest of players" imply? and "greatest of the elven archers" imply?

It would mean a ranking system based on either statistical or acknowledging system for determining who are the strongest/greatest players....and if being specific...while using the specific sword/bow.

Statistical system referring to your idea of "weapons that had killed a certain number of enemies" meaning logs of mobs slain (like what Sagaert22 said)...and Acknowledging system referring to an idea of voting by players (good for servers)..

Example of Statistical log:

Dwarven Battleaxe stats:

Enemies killed:

Orcs killed-1321 Goblins killed-542 Trolls killed-99 Wargs-265

Players killed:

Evil players-125 Good players-2

Hired Units killed:

Self hired Units: 2

Allied players hired Units: 0

Enemy player hired units: 1236

(Having a mob specific stats will enable you to specify: Trollbane....or Goblin Cleaver......or The Sword of Treason[like too many allies killed???]....or....a notorious name for a sword that kills anyone in their path[too many kills in the self hired units]............)

This ranking system would then give you the "opportunity" to name the actual weapon with a name that it will get stuck with for the rest of its use..(not life). It would probably better if after reaching a certain high level in the ranking system...(whatever sort of system it is) by being one of the strongest/greatest....one can name/rename the sword/bows with a permanent name that it will retain for a long time(note..not forever)

After a certain amount of "long" time the name can be renamed but only with a high requirement such as very, very high xp...or whatever high requirement it is.... for, however great Narsil was, Anduril, was the greatest sword wielded (by the good side) during the War of the Ring. What I mean is that even though it is Elendil's sword and only Elendil's heir is the one allowed to use it....the deeds Narsil was used for is a entirely different story than Anduril's...different names for different times...

Kudos to you!! You can't damage your own hired units I can, just like what TheodenOfRohan said....and also.....they die if they (different hired units) fight each other....like, my elves killed all my mounted axe-throwing dwarves just because one of the dwarves axes accidentally hit one of the elves while trying to kill of of the rabbits I told them to kill.....so it's my fault and in a sense, I killed those dwarves... T_T


 * o Murderer!

Honestly now tho, thanks for telling me, that clears things up abit, but I don't know how easy it is to code for seeing how many units die AFTER they've been fired or from friendly fire kills... I keep the bones so not to forget my mistakes and remember my fallen brothers.

(Sighs...why do elves and dwarves quarrel??)

Well, you got a point.... But whatever the statistics will contain is up to Mevans...my main point here is...if the requirement for naming great weapons is being a "one of the greatest/strongest players" that, in turn, will require some sort of ranking system, like the statistical one.

If this is ever endorsed, I would think it would wait till the quest system, main structures, and lore characters come out...because it may be hard for this to come out before all of those things
