Let's get a discussion going on this subject. The recent update renamed several enchants. I've gathered the following from the Nexon forums and my own armory.
Reckless is now Careless (rB version)
Eagle is now Prudent
Color is now Colorful
Fierce is now Belligerant (rB version)
Difficult is now Backbreaking (r4 version)
Magical is now Arcane
Frozen is now Icebound
Hot is now Hot Foot
Raven is now Crow
Honorable is now Famous
Holy is now Lively
Anyone else find a renamed enchant?

The RA enchant is Academic. The other one is still called Scholar.

They have needed to change for a long time, having two enchants with the same name is annoying. I don't know why they changed the other ones though.

It's most likely to match the name they have in KR version. For example, if you look at the English name of the Korean rank 4 Difficult Enchant, it showed up as Backbreaking. The same goes for Boiling enchant. And they simply changed it here too.
My guess is that in Korea, when they had the 10th Anniversary event, they had some new enchants, and some enchants had confusing name. For example, there was a new rank D enchant called Raven. NA probably got the enchant renaming patch due to this, hence why the common Raven is now Crow.

Yeah, that was what I was talking about. Most of them are pointless. I can understand Difficult, but for non-duplicate enchant names.. just why..[/FONT]

Because it's the one thing NA Nexon can have fun with without being told by KR what they can and cannot do. Same reason why they spent time redoing the error messages in mabi and past generation text and are thinking of renaming old titles.

Yeah, I had that way too many times. People don't know how to read, apparently they didn't finish elementary school.
Back to the topic, I think the only possible way I could see a point in having this change is being consistent with KR enchant names.
