Once server-related issues are resolved, which plans are in motion to do, we can start working on implementing signatures, etc.
Could this be related to having 10 colors of every armor piece in the game? If so, I'd vote to do away with the system except on Rare/Ex items that are gained from Dungeon Raids or HNM's. That would be an immediate measure to help against server clog, and after all most of the armor looks almost exactly the same regardless of the color.
