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?)

Thanks, Eemeefu!

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. ^^
