Yes. Jesus. Classes aren't going anywhere. Jobs and classes are going to be further differentiated as more abilities, equipment, etc. are added well into 2.0.

Want an elaborate reason as to why? Too bad, I ain't got one, and if I had one I still wouldn't need to give it out. The fact is that if classes were going the way of the dodo, then they would have been offed months ago by Matsui and the rest of the battle design team. He's quick to get rid of things that don't suit the overall vision of the game like active combat, so it's not like he's shown arbitrary preference for them.

Sorry for the tone, I'm just still feeling vitriolic over the announcement of an Elder Scrolls MMO.
