On an unrelated note (hence separate post), you are correct that a lot of "epic" weapons, aren't. They weren't originally called that by the Verant, either. That was a community-driven term that eventually became standard. They were added, really, as a result of the popularity of the paladin's Fiery Avenger quest. Essentially Verant decided to give everyone a similar lengthy quest for a high-quality weapon that had a visible particle effect.
