The author of Log Horizon wants to hear your opinion!

News on the localised class submission project! An interim report on its current status was just posted on mamare.net: ログ・ホライズン地域職業募集企画中間発表. At the time it was posted, Mamare had received 1834 submissions from 53 countries, a pleasant surprise for a project that was born from a whim =3. As the submissions come in various languages, he apologises for any wrong or incomplete translations and proceeds to give an overview of what he has received so far.

So far, the top three classes to be swapped are:

#1: Samurai (308 counts)
#2: Monk (225 counts)
#3: Assassin (222 counts)

Next he listed a few examples for each server complete with the number of submissions collected for each server, from which countries the submissions had come from, a brief description of each class and finally a short comment on the submissions for each region.

I'll leave translating Mamare's comments to those with a better command on Nihongo =3

Remember that the classes listed here are just a few examples of what he has received. Nothing is cast in stone yet, though Mamare did express interest in some of the classes listed. If you think you have more and/or better ideas, don't wait, submit it to him now! =3

Final dateline for submissions: 10 Feb 2014

Pirate
Medicine Man
Lumberjack
Brawler

Those are all meh...
Seriously...A lumberjack class though?

Lol, why don't you send one too. :D
Can blame them though, it's "kinda hard" thinking a Class exclusive to Northern America that doesn't involve guns or native Americans.

in case anyone asked, The author himself has said that Guns are craftable, but unusable because of the level requirements.

Did anyone ask about how level requirements are defined?

I was looking through early Murican history for suitable swaps. Things like Huntsman, Rangers, etc. etc. are way better than a freaking lumberjack.

His show sucks as bad as K-on. /Opinion

Lol, challenge accepted.

Keep in mind that Canada is also in "North America" . lol

By that logic where the banditos and Jaugar warriors of mexico and the mayan gods. We're all american of norte.

I'd just like to add that your avi isn't that one green haired guy anymore and I would like to call heresy on you for it. [color=white]I am sure I'm not the first one to do this.[/color]

I did since the deadline is till Feb.

Medicine man works but just sounds boring, and not as "fictional" as a cleric/healer/etc. etc.

Being able to foresee the future, deal with the spirit world and use rituals to heal and buff people, seems pretty fictional to me.

All that from a "medicine man". That's due to their class type, not associated powers to beings with those titles. It's just a slightly less generic term that ends up sounding a 1000x more generic than "Shaman".

I dunno though, I might be in the minority, and people might like "Medicine Man".

No that is literally the definition for what a Shaman is.

med·i·cine man
noun
noun: medicine man; plural noun: medicine men

1.
(among North American Indians and some other peoples) a person believed to have magical powers of healing and of seeing into the future; a shaman.

sha·man
noun
noun: shaman; plural noun: shamans

1.
a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of good and evil spirits, esp. among some peoples of northern Asia and North America. Typically such people enter a trance state during a ritual, and practice divination and healing.

Right...Never disagreed with you, it's another name for Shaman, it's literally a less generic term for a shaman/spiritual medium. Shaman itself is a bit generic, but Medicine man is a pretty generic sounding term for a healer.

Personally, it makes me think of "Pharmacist".
