Sure would, not to mention it would look real neat.
I mean, COME ON PEOPLE!!! GREEN IS SO BORING AFTER A WHILE!
I like the idea myself...

If it was based off the AP you'd have multiple colors. I am sure you can change the sword image colors via scripting to make it match the AP color.

Hmmmm, AP colors... That would OWN!
Too bad you'd have to probably get either
A) An extremely complex script puttin AP oin but only the bar, no effrect, and then connecting it with the saber, or
B) It's a simple script that just puts the bar back, erases if (ap=40) {crap} (hey, i dont script, so, yeah)
and has it so if the AP is 0 The green saber gfx is replaced by black and gold(?) saber gfx.
Right?

Adding AP would force in rescripting most systems. Besides, the whole point of the different color sabers is that you have to work your way to the rank to get to that color.

I'm not trying to say this is a horrible idea, it just isn't good for the point that we are at right now.

It doesn't really make sense to have AP on a war server.

Do you think this was not thought of when scripting the system?

What do you think bounty is for?

Bounty = What you are worth, both money wise and exp wise, when you die. This means that if you get a friend to get on and you lame him over and over again, then he will only have 0 bounty, so the person laming will recieve 0 money and 0 exp per kill.

So you get one other person involved and kill each other?

That would take a rather long time. Besides, if you cheat your way to high ranks, then you won't have much to do on Zone anymore, thus making the server boring. The whole point is to go against others and improve you skill and have fun, while you try to beat everyone elses high scores

It'd be fun to cheat and make impossible to beat high scores and watch everyone get mad.

That sounds like an idea, but, its hard to have black glow...

Sorry about not paying attention and missing this, there would be barely any rescripting as zone uses a custom hit detection and HP system. You'd only have to add something to decrease AP on kills, which I'd assume wouldn't be more then a line or two of coding.
