Trivia
Should we leave the trivia that's on the Backsword and Falchion articles, or should we get rid of it because it doesn't really pertain to the game?--Zyborg22 08:42, 23 November 2005 (PST)


 * When the wiki first began, some of the commodity articles had a "real life" section to them that I felt deepened the game. As long as it's only a sentence or three, I don't see any reason to remove them.  I would, however, change the name from Trivia.--Fiddler 08:52, 23 November 2005 (PST)


 * The general idea is fine, but the actual text is not. "According to Wikipedia" is redundant and provides no value.  Maybe slap up an "External Links" section with a link to the Wikipedia article? --Barrister 09:52, 23 November 2005 (PST)

"May never own a backsword"
"If you do not have the box edition, you may never own a backsword". If you can't buy them, trade them, or win them from skellies, how would you ever get one? If there's absolutely no way to get them apart from buying the box edition, 'may' should be changed to 'will'. --Malthus1 10:38, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
 * It is still possible to obtain the box edition. Here is a listing from ebay.com of one of many that are available.  So yes ye 'may' still be able to own the backsword.  -- Cedarwings (t/c) 10:57, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
 * I didn't realise 'may' referred to the possibility of obtaining the box edition (and only that). I still think it's unclear. --Malthus1 11:07, 12 April 2007 (PDT)
 * I see what you are saying, but if you purchase the box edition you 'will' not own the backsword. With the purchase of the box edition you 'may' choose to own the backsword or the savvy hat. -- Cedarwings (t/c) 11:25, 12 April 2007 (PDT)

Drop Pattern Opinion
I believe Cleaver's opinion of the backsword is a bit unneccessary (can't spell that) and I, in fact, think its drop pattern, while being random, is actually quite good. --CrazyThang 01:02, 20 April 2008 (PDT)
 * Not really. Sprinkles aren't that great and the strikes are mediocre as well. --Thunderbird 02:43, 20 April 2008 (PDT)
