[dev1033] Class name changes -> Specialization/Talent Trees Into Classic FF Classes

[Betelgeuzah]

It's possible that there could be a lockout for switching specs, make it something that would discourage people from switching often.

Well I don't think that's a problem, as you could play DRK or PLD whenever you wanted after leveling them in XI and that was fine. But you gotta earn that right!

Gladiator -> Paladin Path: Damagin or Tankadin?

Well, the stigma is that PLD is no DD so that will definitely hurt damagin and make it not as popular choice just because of the stupid stigma.

What I wanted was that you have the Gladiator up till rank 30 or whatever from which point onwards you can unlock Paladin (tank spec) or continue on the Gladiator further (DD spec). It's a challenge for the devs to make it so the current classes can compete against these old classes for sure, yah... but damn, I don't think the lore for them is that bad. They just need to refine them, make the lore more obvious and it should work.

Not that we can draw any conclusions but I see two ways to go at this if we want to avoid the largest possible problems: Either make it so theres one extra branch for each class (new + classic) or make it so you need to "earn the right" to play as both specs, if they're both classic.
