Race/class list from CrimsonWind writeup

[Breltik]

Hey gang, Breltik from Crimson Wind here, when myself and Doresain were compiling that list from the character creation PC, the dev standing there (so sorry if he reads this, completely forgot his name) said it was very very subject to change, but said something along the lines of that we could 'get the general idea' from it. So the DK being an elf thing may change and I've already heard that inquisitors and psionicists might not make launch either. Either way this list is something to start getting a general concept from, and I for one and pumped about it. It seems lots of different folks are getting different bits of info, so be sure to not only check out this site and Crimson Wind but others and see what you can find!

Well that's an interesting deduction. Why would psionicists not make launch since we've seen them in action and they have just had an immense makeover with new animations and everything? (According to a developer on the OVF). Not saying it won't happen, but it doesn't make sense to me. If anything, the Disciple may not make it due to lack of information thus far.

Yeah I pretty sure that psionisct isn't the other class missing launch. I would bet that the other class that isn't going to make it in launch is going to be berserker, disciple, or the blood mage. All classes which we have been told very little about.

Hm. According to another poster, a developer at Fanguard mentioned that Disciple would be implemented shortly. So, it may not be that class either... Curiouser and curiouser. I suppose Sigil is waiting to release the final class list to large media or some such.

It's hard to say but if their official features only includes 15 classes something is going to be droped and the disciple is really one of those classes that would probabally be easiest to drop at this point as most of the rest of classes have been implemented already.

Damn... I really have no idea what class I'd play if disciple is cut. At least I have time to pick. :x

[Arctic_Slicer]

Yeah I am kind of disapointed to see inquisitor and disciple going the way of the summoner. They really were some of the more original classes of the game. Rather it have been some of the done-to-death classes such as the warrior or the cleric getting the boot.

Now all they need to do move druids back to healers and the Blood mage to arcanes and then we will have "EverQuest" all over again, minus the beastlords. Sadly that isn't too much of an exageration.

I'm still hoping that the number 15 was someone's typo. :/ If they *are* axing one more, I do wish they'd tell us which one it is. IMHO, blood mages are as likely to get it at DIsciples. At least for disciples we heard they were going to be adding them to beta soon.

S'funny in a way...they've often said they are creating the game that THEY would want to play. And so, in true gamer fashion, there are more offensive fighter options than any other archetype. *laugh*

[Cobalt Katze]

I'm hoping the number is wrong as well, but I suppose we'll know in good time Could be a matter of commiting to shipping with at least 15, and then if they're able to get 16 or 17, that's an added bonus and benefits their credibility... Much moreso than if they said they'd ship with 17 and only were able to do 15.

I think it goes back to what Brad said about managing spectations. Either way it is pretty certain at this point that Inquisitor is going to be a low priority right now.
