Guys, just want you to know, that I mean no offence by this thread, just trying to stop all this happening.

Some people have perfect characters. I don't mean characters that are amazing, because they've been on the server for long, but characters that never get hurt, are amazing at everything they do, and have tons of weapons in their pockets.
1. Character's that don't get hurt permanently
What I mean by this, is having permanent ailments, such as a limp, a weaker arm, maybe even a limb missing. Just a day ago, I popped a characters eye, and mutilated the area around it. Next time I saw him, he said his eye 'grew back'. This is appalling.
They can't use magic, because it is disabled, and ( I think ) with it you can not grow back body parts.
I want people to actually get hurt, and not just grow back their finger, or suddenly have all their teeth back.
Also, some people just 'dodge' attacks, or 'sidestep', or have armour that prevents even 10 arrows, one after each other, from piercing it. Some people don't get knocked back, and stand still, even if a large rock is thrown at their body. Some people say OP when you dodge one attack, then they dodge or sidestep all of your attacks.
2. They are amazing at EVERYTHING they do.
What I mean by this, is that characters suddenly know everything, from as soon as they join the server, their character can use a sword, a dagger, a bow, they can read, write, swim, climb, run really fast, and kill people with 2 hits. In real life, as soon as you become, what? 15, 16? Can you use a dagger and a sword in both hands while climbing up a 10m high building? No, thought not. People need to LEARN skills, not just have them immediately. If they have it in their backstory, fine, but they can't be the BEST EVER at using bows, or a sword. If they have trained in-game, that's perfectly fine.
3. Countless weapons.
What I mean by this, is, that people just magically have a giant spear on there back, a dagger in there shoe, a bow on there back, and a 2h sword in their hair. Think realistically, people. You would have to walk quite slowly if you have more than 2 moderately sized weapons on you, unless you're an earthspawn, or a strong character overall. My character brings around a cane, which he uses for fighting, and walking, as he has a limp. It is to elbow height, and has a thin strip of steel through the middle, to stop it breaking quickly. This is not going to be very heavy, so he carries it around everywhere, not really hindering how fast they go.
Now, imagine your character has a massive waraxe, the size of around their chin, maybe? It is made of a long, thick rod of wood, and a massive plate of strong, thick steel. This would be very heavy, and would slow you down, unless, stated before, you are very strong, or an earthspawn.
Conclusion:
I would like characters to -not- carry around massive weapons, be amazing at using that weapon, and not get injured permanently when someone chops their foot off.
