One thing that I really enjoy is armor graphics and the general look of my character. I just got to level 10 this morning and crafted myself a greatsword. To my dismay I just noticed that there is no sheath graphic. When you take out your weapon it just magically appears in your hand. While minor it's kind of fun to see your character lug the thing off his or her back.


We have sheath graphics but they're very, very old. We have a lot of weapon models in the game that could be sheathed and each and every one of them would require a custom sheath due to their custom size. Aka, some art time and maybe some client-side memory, depending on how we set it up.

On the other hand, I agree that it'd be more realistic and, hopefully, we can eventually have it. Custom scabbards would be money and, if we could put them on the same shader/texture as the weapon itself, it'd avoid many performance issues It'd still result in more shaders/textures in the long run.

Then again, not adding em would be the best for performance, heh.

Rambling /off.
