As of now, silver weapons are pretty much never used. The only use i've ever seen them have on the server the entire time i've played was back in the day when Lycan characters could only be given a deathblow with silver weapons. Lycan npcs are pretty uncommon, rarely appearing outside of the Forest of Despair. And even then, silver weapons really aren't that much better than whatever you're going to be using as your standard weapon anyhow, even early on.
As far as folklore and forgotten realms lore, a lot of things are vunerable to silver, like undead (vampires especially), outsiders (devils are weak to silver). Maybe adding a few bonuses to silver weapons to make them actually appealing for niche racial uses?
