No but it normally does mean players wont ever get those weapons :P

Death Penalty is Merlwyb onry.

If the uld guys weapon is a great sword, im gonna be pissed...

If your referring to my posts I didn't say bluemage was going to happen because of all of the similarities. I'm just excited to see all of the throwbacks to XI :)

What kind of name is Merlwyb, it just a load of random letters thrown together i can't even say it.

I'm German, and I can tell you they're not of German origin. BUT you're on the right track. They sound more harsh, almost Viking-like. I'd say more Nordic, like Scandinavian or Norwegian.

Germanic isn't the same as German. It's a language branch:

Merlwyb with rng/cor weapons, Kan E with Blm/smn weapon, Raubahn with blu weapon, love the FFXI easter eggs.
