    I like Page/Guard/HK, but personally I think it would look/sound better if all three were one word (Page-Guard-Knight).

    What Quill said.

    I just think the whole newcomer blah blah blah rank system is misleading. I for example am still labeled a newbie, but I've been a member of this site for a very long time (I know I haven't RP'd the entire time, but I am quite familiar with all the systems. I still creep from time to time.) and a member of a good portion of the community for years.

    Page/Guard/Knight

    As an experienced roleplayer, Newcomer/Regular/Veteran screams different connotations to me:
    Unimportant/Can be Heard/Elite.

    Even though Hyrule Castle is by far one of the most welcoming and friendly roleplaying communities I've ever been a part of and these sorts of issues never seem to spring up, ranks directly referencing a person's involvement in the forums can still give off an elitist air which might scare off wary newcomers.

    Oreknar makes a very good point. I change my vote to Page/Guard/Knight. My only concern is that "RP Page/RP Guard/RP Knight" will sound too IC, but that just seems so unlikely with the RP prefix.

    I agree and may be changing my vote as well. We will be discussing it with the rest of the staff. Thanks Oreknar!
