Advanced Traditional Classes with a new twist ^^

Rentahamster - I like your death penalty idea a lot, that is really great. I really hope they add something like that it is much better than the current system of which you have no fear of death really and not as harsh as FFXI with the EXP loss but somewhere in-between as you are only losing your bonus. So while you are losing something it is not like you could de-lvl your class.

Good job ^^

One of the things that I hear FFXI players saying is that they enjoyed having to grind, even at max rank, so that they have a buffer to prevent de-leveling. After they'd die they would have to find a party and grind XP for a little while to get their buffer back, and they enjoyed this for some reason.

The system I outlined would allow for that same kind of experience without punishing those players who do not find the same kinds of activities so enjoyable.

Indeed. The thing you need to be careful about, is to try to not dilute the class pool too much. It's a tad hard to make every class unique when you end up having 15+ classes to choose from.

At any rate, I seem to recall Yoshi-P saying that they want to fix the most egregious problems with the game first, and balance all the current classes. Only then will they attempt to add more classes to the game.
