There will be a total of 8 ranks. I will probably run polls to finalise the names of the other ranks too, but here is what I am thinking at the moment.

As long as I have the option of being an 'Elf Maiden' or 'Lady' at Rank 7, it looks good. Not that I'll ever get there, lol. |

I will see if I can make it so they recognise gender, or at least be non-specific. So 'Spearman' might become 'Hireling' or something, while 'Lord' might be better off as 'Noble' or perhaps 'Steward' |

This is just an idea, how about a rank system based on English nobility, like this: 1) Gentleman 2) Esquire 3) Knight 4) Baronet 5) Baron 6) Viscount 7) Earl 8) Marquess 9) Viceroy 10) Duke 11) Archduke 12) Prince 13) Monarch 14) Emperor |

I believe Marquess is the feminine, though I could be wrong. Anyway, what's wrong with good ol' "Wayfarer" and that old format? Just out of curiosity; I liked working my way up through the Gondorian hierarchy back in the day. Wow, I feel old now. |

According to feedback I've had, the old idea of different rank titles for different realms was a bit too complex for newcomers to understand and it was difficult to tell which ranks equated to each other. Was an Elven Loremaster the same as a Dwarven Runekeeper, and were they higher than a Rohan Stablemaster? Who knew? So I'm keen on keeping the ranks the same across the realms and using something a bit LOTRy with their titles. The old 'Wayfarer' name came about because we'd get a lot of new memberships created and then not joining in the forums, moving on to other things. So Wayfarer seemed to fit. |

I also think wayfarer is fitting as a first rank. |

Quote: None of the above (please make a suggestion) What I meant was nobody else could vote for it without reading Kev's mind and suggesting the same option. It wasn't listed with the rest to choose from is my point. |

A second poll then, with the top three plus Wayfarer? |

Sounds good but I suggest only one vote this time around. |
