    Leatherworker = LTW (changed from TAN, thanks Enyyx!)
    Conjurer = CNJ (changed from CON, just because)

    Love the changes, except I feel that GLA should probably become GLD (people will get used to it after a week or two, trust me). This change will also benefit new players, methinks.

    Anonymoose makes some great points, I think you should strongly consider his proposal.

    They may want to consider changing Gladiator to GLD because my fingers are really stupid ; ;

    I'm all good with the changes. LTW is fine just like GSM, because its actually 2 words in one. In both cases its taking 1 letter from 1 word and the other from the other word. IMO they don't need to change everything...just what turned to be an ingame issue like GLD was. I always called Leatherworker as LW and goldsmith GS so its not really a problem (at least to me) just having a middle letter here.

    I've never been a fan of the "two letter" method. It works for a lot of stuff, but for some things it gets really confusing.

    - BS (blacksmith or bullshit? lol)
    - GS (goldsmith, great sword, or gilseller?)

    Lol very true =P I meant as general chit chat, where the other knows the context of what you're saying. But yep, 3 letters are much better for general understanding. ^^
