Does your melee combat actually not affect the weight of your melee attacks? I assume that's a typo but i can't be sure :P

I can't connect, is the server down?

P.S. why is valhalla a free-for-all gankfest and not limited to duels?
Kinda hard to investigate the combat system when everybody attacks randomly

It just says "Weight: Determined by weapon * U". Doesn't say anything about melee weight in there.

Further down in the same text wrote:Unless otherwise specified, weapons will use the geometric mean of their Vitality and your character's value in Melee Combat for their attack weight.

Yes, someone -- someone! -- had found their way to the character creation room and tried to create a character in the non-existing world. And here I thought I could just throw up a test server without having to consider all the ways in which it could be 'sploited. Silly me.
