was just going to post that one as well :=)
Especially this line sounds nice: "The clan management tools are extensive and have also received a lot of praise by our beta testers. "


OMFG, prestige classes are out!!!!

" 14. Will Prestige classes (or at least some of them) be hidden around the world and/or unlocked by quests, or will they be relatively easy to find/join? Will they have minimum skill requirements to become initiated (i.e. a minimum stealth skill before you can become an Assassin)?

We've already announced that Prestige classes won't be in during the launch. We may introduce them later. Prestige classes are contradictory to the skill system, we feel that their introduction isn't consistent with the overall design. Their introduction wouldn't add significantly to the gameplay at this time. "

Thanks oh Lord Tasos, thanks!

Prestige Classes are a form of classes which you do not choose when creating your character but later. You can become/unbecome a prestige class as often as you want. If your character has picked up a prestige classes that means he gets some advantages in some areas and some disadvantages in other areas... example: Paladin

Paladin has to pay 50% of his earnings to church, but he gets to cast in plate armor with a normal castingtime and he gets some special combat spells. Also, he may not pick up three (don't remember which though) of the spell schools.


The DEVs originally intended to put the prestige classes in at release, then decided to wait and introduce them in a later patch and not it seems they're out forever. I didn't like them from the beginning as imo they would be too good not to choose one which would limit player freedom and the amount of different combat templates.

edith: why did you delete your post - it was a valid question.

Thanks oh Lord Tasos, thanks! x 2


I'm suprised I havent seen as many discussions (prior to this interview) supply arguements for or against prestige classes.
HAving said that though, I havent been as active on Forumfall lately.

I'm delighted to hear that.

Copied blixas then made the obvious changes to it. Lol


Anyone any good with Photoshop or have some ideas of what changes to make to an avatar, to personalise it.

well... my thread about that got closed down, but really, Zushakon, it's not old news. Before the interview they were going to introduce the prestige classes in a patch, now they don't even like them themselves (which mean they'll probably never get in!).

Anyway KoKane, you could try to change the skin color a bit as in laying a darker, transparant color over the body.
