Any word on Raph's weapon?
GREAT question!
I'm working with Blair right now. There is a quest in the game that we are going to add this as a reward

I hope the sword is actually good so that it can reflect on the person it was named for

Dev "Brilliant!!!"

Has to suck... Just cause everyone can get one... If only 10 poeple could get it then maybe it would be slightly more powerful...

I doubt the devs are that dumb. They must realize if they make this sword suck they will have many many outraged gamers, more so then ever before. If they make it suck then that's like an insult to the late Raph herself, and I'm doubt the fencer community would stay quiet about that would they?

Raphayl was legendary and so should this sword be, with any luck what TH meant was that there'd be a quest to aquire the pieces (schematic, etc) - ala the swordsmans Scythe.

Just to be honest, about the only thing right now that they could do to make me quit SWG would be to devalue the contribution of Raphayl to SWG by makeing this Sword worthless.
I'm pretty sure TH is aware of the ramifications of doing something like that, but I'd be willing to bet that the quest would be one of the harder ones.
I'm just praying that it isn't one of the Quests that are impossible for Fencer's to acomplish or even be worthwhile in a group going... namely Corvette and DWB.
I'd actually rather it be a part of a new quest. Hell I'd write it if they let me.

Yes, I think they do. While SOE Marketing might be a bunch of Uber-Capitalist-Elitist-Inhumane-Monsters, the Dev staff are mostly just gamers like us. and they honestly felt the loss of Raphayl as powerfully as some of us did.
