The reason they are not allowed is because we tried exactly this type of weapon way back in the 80s, and it broke the game. They're not going to come back. If you want something double-ended, make a staff. If you want to break shields, make a glaive. You can't have both without making a wreck of game balance.

Been there, done it, finally got over the nightmares, and now it's your fault that they're going to come back.
You can have both, but sometimes they are both hard to carry at the same time

i could. i think i shall return to the weapons and armor section where i live... 5 days, 1 hour and 48 minutes of total logged in time now :O just thought the pommel spike may be more playable if shields were given a 3 teir hit limit. but oh well. BACK TO MY WEAPONS RESEARCH AND TEA! HAHA TEA!but first we say a few words...


oh mighty spike-tailed glaive...
ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Dap to Dap, blue foam to blue foam.

till then thy mighty spike-tailed glaive. sleep thy beautiful slumber.

make a dagger with both ends looking the same, and you will have a 50% chance of being slightly safer
