I found out that "glaive" is the right spelling before JM fixed it and started to use it in game. People were laughing at me because they thought i was mistyping. But I started to laugh at them who were laughing at me after JM fixed it. So... "GLAIVE"
^ OED s.v. Glaive: "Hatz-Darm. regard OF. glaive as an adapted form of L. gladius (through the stages gladie, glaie, glavie). Ascoli supposes it to represent a Celtic *cladivo- (OIr. claideb sword, Gael. claidheamh). Neither view, however, accounts for the earliest meaning of the word in OF., which is also that of MHG. glavîe, glævîn, MDu. glavie, glaye, Sw. glaven."
Using glavie could have been a representation of how Silkroad is based on the actual Silkroad.

Discuss. I preffer Glavie, sounds more realistic
It's refreshing to see someone actually spell glaive correctly.
Edit: I take that back. I misread your post and thought you said you prefer 'glaive' when you actually prefer 'glavie'. Silly Squirt, misspelling a weapon name...

Wikipedia's information about the Glaive claims that it is a European Pole arm. The Chinese name for it is Guan Dao. I wonder why joymax never call it that since only the Chinese race have it in the game.

I'm sure the Chinese also have native names for the blade, bow, sword, and spear. Joymax however decided to use English names for these weapons in the game instead of their Chinese counterparts.
