Are the weapon speeds going to be off of the 2000-2001 numbers or will they be based off of some obscure "patch" notes or "demo" disk? For instance, The Katana had a speed of 58 and the Kryss had a speed of 53, the higher number indicated the faster weapon on stratics back in 2000. This was verified by the stratics staff and I know Xena Dragon did an exhaustive review of all the weapons tables back then. The weapon damage and speed tables were consistent with the game notes and actual in-game testing at the time. Just wondered as there have been a few disputes on UOSA as to which was faster the Katana or Kryss. As it broke down back in 2000-2001 the Katana was faster and did consistent damage over time, the Kryss was a little bit slower but had the potential to inflict a random, higher end "spike" of damage than the Katana throughout the course of a fight.
The weapon speeds currently in effect on the server are default for the Renaissance time period, however its completely possible that some of them may be incorrect. Any relevant documentation, whether from stratics or another reliable source (OSI/Mythic patch notes) would help to confirm that what we have is correct. Using the examples you've given above as a quick test, the katana (58 speed) & kryss (53 speed) are correct on Renaissance.
Here's the link to the weapon's essay from UO Stratics Oct, 2000 http://web.archive.org/web/20001019020722/http://uo.stratics.com/ There's quite a few archived charts from 2000-2001 as well.
