I'm not sure if this is just today (argh, I actually typed "this month" there), since I don't check it often enough, but isn't it interesting to note how TOPGUILDS is getting a bit more spread out? Gone are the days of 4 times as many Moondancers as Paladins! I guess this is good work on the part of the Divine Good job, You guys!

Still, i've seen a trend in most IRE games where Forestal guilds are ontop for a long time. Hopefully this will change once all the butterflies in the mages magic are fried out.

Come to think of it, you're probably right there. I suppose the Forestal guilds are like a safe option for people to sit in until they figure out the politics and so forth, because the forestals are isolationist and so forth in their minds.
I still think it has to do with the Gods being cool though. *hum*

The forestals were big on other IRE games because they controled the economy, selling herbs and potions was the only way to make big gold so everybody had a forestal alt to make gold with. Nobody really cared if they were good or not but they definitly made gold.

In lusternia thanfully anybody can pick herbs and I love seeing the monopoly on the economy broken up for once.

True, but only Serenwilde alchemists can make potions...

So you'll all have to wait 'til Glomdoring or something pops up to make potions if you can't get any from Serenwilde... Of course, there are always those who're willing to supply even if you're enemied, you'll prolly just have to ask the right people.

I can attest to that.

*Cackle*

Heh, some of us put gold before silly enemy lists .

I think the Topguilds are a really good indicator of which guilds need to be worked on! Hey, check out those bottom two!

I would rather say that there are just a lot of people who don't want this more or less constant war between Celest and Magnagora and therefore rather join the more peaceful Serenwilde. Alchemy is surely a reason too but honestly we don't have that many alchemists.
