Could we have the option to equip one shield functionally and another as a costume?
This way you can look how you want without sacrificing performance.
While this is currently possible with the helmets and armors, it's not currently implemented for shields.
This would also open up some possibilities for OOO to earn some money if they released sets of decorative shields (I would think that smaller versions of those bulky crenellated shields the wardens equip would be a good seller, as would different styles of ranger shields)
This has been suggested many times before...
I'm going to say -1 simply because I personally dislike the idea of having your shield not function the way it looks like it should (as opposed to armour, which we all know by now isn't as important as your shield and being able to dodge effectively).
But that's just me.
