Yes, my weapon should not automatically become the kingdom's property. Particularly as Excalibur and Brad both had high level access to Forest and would have loved to steal and unimprove my axe for me in addition to deleting 1) the entire listing and 2) me, illegally.

However, yes, Kingdoms should have Improved Weapons. Either weapons donated can be transformed to Kingdom Property in the Treasury or the King himself improves them using the funds in the treasury. On logoff the weapons warp to the treasury room again - they float there in stasis, saying the name of their owner, and when their owner returns so does the weapon. At any time, whether the owner is online or offline, the king can recall a weapon - if it's in the owner's hands, it teleports to the treasury; if it's floating in the treasury, the connection to its owner is broken, it falls and does not warp back to its former owner's hands.

Such weapons cannot be unimproved, destroyed, traded, alchemized, burned, frozen, or hidden. In the event that one fails to report in for an extended period of time, it respawns and sends a kill signal to the original.
