Greetings fellow adventurers!

I've created this thread with the intent of gathering some answers to a few questions that I (and I'm sure my fellow lore-mongers and completionists) have pondered.

Here's the details:

- We all know each GC has its own rank, that currently caps out at "Second Flame/Storm/Serpent Leiutenant, but I heard a rumour that if you rank up in one GC you can switch to another, then if you were to switch back to the original GC, your old rank would still be intact, can anyone confirm if this is true? (preferrably with a source)

- Since PvP rank is tied to your GC, does the above also apply to said PvP rank? (please source if possible)

- Similar to the first point, are any GC seals you may have had saved for when/if you switch back the original GC? Or are the seals you had converted from one type of seal to the other? Or are they simply forfeit? (please source if possible)

- If everything mentioned above is saved, then can anyone tell us what is actually lost from switching your GC then switching back? (other than the 30 day, soon to be 15 day, lockout)

I would love to max my ranks and experience the stories for all 3 GCs (with the exception of PvP because getting to rank 40 on all 3 would just be far too tedious and I'm not the type who does win-trading). However! If this means forfeiting all my progress on my current GC... then I will stick with my Immortal Flames.

Any information provided is greatly appreciated, and info with sources... even more so.

Thanks! ^_^
