Q: Can we play new classes and which changes have been made to the "old" ones?
Pete Hines: We provide some basic classes for you to choose from, but the game really isn't about which class you pick. Instead, what is important are the skills you choose to be good at, because using those skills is what helps you level up. We've got 21 skills, seven each for the three main types of character (mage, thief, fighter), but you can create your own custom character using any combination of skills you want. Once again, the number of possible characters you can create is way up in the billions (yes, with a "B" ).
