I realize I'm resurrecting a long dead thread, but as of now, can Commoners still gain TDPs or has this changed?

Don't worry, you won't have to wait much longer to join the Trash Collector's Guild, I hear it's top priority once 3.0 is out and Hollow's Eve is over.

I've been away for over a year and I'm curious if anyone has all the information on how Commoners will be changing in DR 3.0? Any drastic innovations Commoners should be aware of?

Specifically:

1. Crafting. Can they pick careers, techniques and so on? Despite being Lore Secondary for learning purposes, I assume they will only achieve Lore Tert potential? Or will we be looking at an even worse situation?

2. (Answered) I was going to ask about TDPs, but it looks like GM Socharis had a reasonable answer. I hope the conversion rate for joining a guild goes without a hitch :P

Comments about the thread:

I don't plan to depart Commoner life at the onset of DR 3.0. My goal has been to join a specific guild when the time is right. Or even another should events shape the future. Commoners are inherently cool, but parading Commoner affiliation has felt weird. I've always hid behind a vague guild persona. Almost everyone will assume you're guilded with some group. It's a thrill to play a Commoner and with the GMs making the game less guild-based has freed up a lot of previous Commoner constraints.

I'd hate to see people bailing Commoner life forever with DR 3.0 changes. The game right now does a decent job of accommodating non-guilded. My thanks for that. I don't have a "Sky is falling" attitude yet. Doing my usual routine. Possibly when all the changes roll out, I may start freaking out if I don't know what to expect. Hence this post! Thanks for any advice and information you can pass on.
