to answer my own question:
. scythe : i'd definitely use it : have different kinds different sizes and blade shapes : but ideally a long handled heavy massive bladed grim reaper style scythe
. halberd : kind of like the scythe : preferably oversized
. OVERSIZED (super wide) zweihander : think Guts from Berserk or Siegfried from Soul Calibur or Cloud from Final Fantasy
. fist weapons : from brass knuckles to Freddy gloves
. pistols (powerful manually loaded ones...more damage than a sword of the same level but slow due to the need to manually load)...well...any kind will do really.
. scimitar
. chakram : you know you want to
. katar : think Voldo from soul calibur
. naginata : kind of like a halberd
. Medieval Spiked Battle Flail
. throwing star
. tonfa
. 3 section staff
. nunchuck
. bombs (the black round ones with the fuse that must be lit)
. poisons
That should just about cover everything.
I know you probably can't get all the weapons on my list in the game but i've listed them in order from most important to least. If you can just get some cool looking oversized scythes in the game i'll be content. Even if you don't have any of the above weapons...please include some big outrageous melee weapons that no normal mortal should be able to easily wield (yet can use quite well in the game).
I also like when weapons glow and have really bright shiny shaders and particle effects.

Id like to see a nice assortment of bows and other ranged weapons also some lite nimble weapons.
my favorit blade is the scimitar
I'd like to see big swords, big sweaty swords, big mighty sword, swords that penetrate, not this fake stuff that doesn't look like it actually hits your attacker. I'd like to hit stuff with my sword too, I like to hit a lot of stuff, I'd hit it hard, harder than most would, ya thats right, I'd hit it real hard.
I'd like to see:
Spears
Gloves, Claws, and Brass Knuckles (Just agreeing strongly...)
I can't really think of anything else... I really like spears... I know non lethal weapons wouldn't really work, but, I mean, things like nets and the like might be useful in some situations.
Swords, just big sword
Theres something wrong with you... and no the inuendo is not lost.

Weapons that have souls, consciousness, and act like npcs. They speak to you, could give you quests and advice.
As for specific weapons....
cant go wrong with a no-dachi

Id like to see players have the ability to fight from horseback using horse spears and lances. If anyones gonna make your MMORPG dreams come true, its gonna be Simutronics.
mounted combat and jousting would be cool.

I hope there's quite a variety- asian weapons, medieval european weapons, perhaps even flintlock pistols, but weapons that function the same way clothing/armor is going to; it'd be great if I were in charge of the weapon "skin" I was using, but the stats would be based on whatever weapon data it was that I obtained from a creature or quest. I'm assuming this is the way it's going to work, since it seems to follow precisely the same logic that was used with the outfits. In any case, the more options, the better, preferably involving lots of texture/appearance sliders and graphic design choices.
I say you name most of te weapons but there should also be:
Kunai (throwing knives)
Double Daggers
Warhammers
Bows
BLowguns
Axes
I would like to see old, plain flintlock pistols. Maybe a musket or two? And if those mechanical dragons can move, why can't some repeater carabines be usuable weapons as well?
I think whips are an under appreciated weapon. I'd like to see them used in game and not as some tack on thing added just to say it's there either.
Lets try not to see them in the "other fantasy" way either. Strickly combat and maybe useable on the environment (Idiana Jones type stuff).

When you do something right people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
We actually have a cool thread going on about this over at Hero's Hall as well. Might want to check that out if you're really into this idea of weapons.

Id like to see some non traditional types of daggers kinda like hibben kinves scorpion or tiger shark but way larger..
Some bladed fist weapons like wolverines claws and the guyver blades combined..
lol
Yes, a ninja is a weapon. Don't you read the admirable works of Robert Hamburger?
"I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person."
I would like to see some Axes in the game, while Swords are nice an Ax is mean and really takes energy to swing. The bigger the Ax the better.
When you look at Lineage 2 they did a good job with making the weapons look really good. The one game that really did a good job making Axes look great was WoW, I’m still shocked when I someone comes out of ZG, BWL or AQ and links an Ax that they just got. The Axes look like they belong to a person that just wants to ripe your head off.
