As the dawn of the new LoC guild is approaching I find it necessary to make a
last stand for the old guild. Since we haven't been given a lot of information
about the new guild, we're forced to speculate around rumors. I will aslo do
this - speculate - before the old guild gets removed and it is too late. (That
being said I am aware of the fact that the fate of the old guild hasn't been
decided yet, and if it has, it hasn't been announced to us mortals.)

The new guild, they say, is coded from scratch. Big changes. If the two guilds
(old and new LoC) differ so much from each other, why does the one have to
exclude the other? Why can't they co-exist?

Here's what I _do_ know: I throughly enjoy the LoC guild as it is. And I
imagine that many others do also. Introducing runemages didn't warrant for a
removal of the mage guild. The opening of the nun guild didn't prompt for the
removal of the tarmalen guild. We all agree that the nomad background needs
more variation. Does the evil_religious background need less?

The evil_religious background is my choosing. I'm not against the opening of a
new LoC guild. I'm all for variation and new guilds being implemented. What I
am against is the removal of the old guild.

Here's what I propose. Let's put the voting feature to the test: those who
think the old guild should be removed from the game as an obsolete guild, vote
against this post. Those of you that think the old Lords of Chaos should be
preserved and left in the game (in one form or another: keep it as it is, or
modify it slightly - change the name of the guild, reset the blades -
whatever) vote in favor of this article. I'm curious as to what the public
opinion on the matter is.

Thank you for reading.

Although new nuns were introduced after old nuns left the game. IIRC there's
not much left from "old" barbarians, too. My personal opinion on that matter
is to replace the old guild and maybe give players who spent years into their
loc-blade a fair head-start. But who am I to judge ... :o)
