Profession Changes

[Ander]

This thread gets a bump because we also made an additional change, but forgot to include it in the initial announcement. Due to the changes of the system, it was decided that "jack-of-all-trade" professions would no longer be allowed, in order to preserve longevity. People get paid the same either way, so in order to level up, you need to use your actual profession. Once you're at Level 5, you can do whatever you want, but to get to that point, you need to stick to a single course.

"Jack-of-all-trade" professions (also known as "freelancers," "temps," "mercenaries," or any similar name) are professions that allow people to do multiple types of job under the umbrella of one moniker. So if I were a Freelancer, I could level up in one quest for delivering a package and level up in another quest for killing someone. You can still call your profession whatever you like, but you must classify it for a specific task. For example, if you were a Mercenary, you'd need to specify whether you were a Mercenary who killed somebody, or a Mercenary who protected somebody. The choice of the name is left to the member for personal flavor.

For anyone who currently has a "jack-of-all-trade" profession, or a profession that is vague or not clearly defined, you will need to describe what it is exactly that you do, or pick another one. For anyone who needs to change their profession, you will get a free switch with absolutely no penalty to your rank.
