I've noticed that there are a couple of melee weapons that give the pirate a hook hand when equipped, so I wondered, why aren't there any shoes that give a peg leg? Three things that you think of when you think of pirates, eye patches, hook hands, and peg legs. We've got eye patches and hook hands, so why don't we have peg legs? In reality, the only character who has a peg leg is Ratbeard, why shouldn't the players get to have a peg leg

Nice idea, but there are rendering problems.

Eye patches, as you should know, were worn by pirates not because they lost an eye, but to preserve the night vision in one eye during the day, for when they have to go below deck where there is no light. This was important when operating the cannons. Creating an eye patch that covers a good eye is simple to render.

Hook hands? Notice that the hand with a hook is longer than the other hand. The hook "hilt" covers the hand.

Peg leg? You can't hide a foot inside a peg leg. They would have to have something to hide the leg while at the same time show the peg leg. Tricky business. Try it on Second Life if you have that. It isn't easy.

Put pegleg inside leg, make leg completely clear, pegleg isn't clear, leg is clear, problem solved

Yeah, that's how it's one on Second Life. The question is: Does the KI graphic engine allow that for only PART of a body? I'm betting that it can't.

I'll take that bet! I'm guessing that KI graphic engine could easily handle this request.

It just seems to me that a peg leg is so OBVIOUS an accessory for a pirate, that if KI could make one, they WOULD have.

And yet they waited a year and a half to add eyepatches ( and a bit later for eyepatches with stats/powers. )

That did not require hiding anything, just another point of attachment. Note that that spot is used not only for eyepatches but earrings as well.
