Some pay mud - I want to say Diku II - had this. As I recall it annoyed
players greatly, simply because the mechanisms for drawing and sheathing
your weapon were not very good; it was very easy to go walking into town
without remembering to put away your weapon first (especially if you're
used to the 'always wielded' method on most combat-oriented muds), resulting
in your character instantly being thrown in jail.
I did a simple draw/sheathe mechanism for a diku a long time ago, relying
on an imaginary sheath (I always wanted to make sheath items, but that
was a bit too much of a change at the time).
It worked like this: 'draw' (or 'dr') would draw your weapon(s), while
'sheathe' (or 'sh') would put them away. You automatically draw your
weapon at the start of combat, at the expense of a delay (very small
for experienced fighters, and zero if you're extremely skillfull).
Naturally it's wise for less skilled characters to draw their weapons
if they are expecting trouble soon - which is nice, because in a large
party, you have the relative newbies whipping out their weapons nervously,
while the experienced ones keep their weapons sheathed.
In addition, I also made many of the actions which required hands (including
opening doors or chests) automatically sheathe your weapon to "free up"
a hand. (You could do it with your offhand if you didn't have anything
in it.)
Worked out pretty nicely, and was fairly transparent. Of course, it
was also transparent enough that a player could snap out their sword,
slice the tailor's throat, and sheathe it before anyone knew what
happened (if they were quick enough).
I always planned to implement some 'safe' towns where players had to check
their weapons at the gate, but never quite got that far.
