Q: What classes will be available to players and how will they be able to define them and make their avatars unique? What are the class milestones and what is the level cap currently for the game?
A: (There are four base classes in the game, the normal Thief, Fighter, Priest and Mage. Which base classes are available to you depend on what race you choose. There are three races featured in the game at launch: Stygian, Cimmerian and Aquilonian. Only Stygians are able to become the dreaded Conan Mages, for instance. The arch-type classes are selected at level 5. Then you select your base class at level 20. Here each arch-type branch into 2-3 choices and then these base classes branch again at level 60. This leaves the player with more than 40 class branch choices through the game, towards the current level cap at level 80.
(In addition to this, we have the so-called prestige or social classes picked at level 40. This is a set of four different classes focusing on social activities, and can freely be picked by any class. They generally allow the player to build villages, do crafting or other things.)
