I think DAOC has the best class choice out of all MMOs on the market.


Only thing I don't like about it is the "Mauler" class being in all three realms.


They should have given that class to Midgard to give each realm 15 classes.


Also having a 19th race (the minotaur) placed in all 3 realms was a fail too.


Other than that, its perfect.

If they had only given it to Mid then Mids would have whined about getting a crappy class judging by how many people play them. I don't see why people complain about it, at worst it's a neutral factor. Also, having more classes in a realm is not really a good thing, one of Albs biggest weaknesses has been having too many classes with abilities spread amongst them, why do you thing Mid has the easiest time putting together a good 8 man? More abilities packed into fewer classes.

I think a better gripe would be the fact Maulers are a pretty crappy class and the Mino's can be only half way decent in terms of race. Although race doesn't matter that much anymore so mino's are fine.


Maulers though....*cringes*

I think the mauler/minotaur thing was probably a compromise. The game already had 44 classes and there were quite a few people that felt the game would not benefit from adding anymore expansion classes/races. But there are also folks that still wanted something new to play. And so the compromise of one class/race shared across the realms, I think.

I'm one of the people that think the game has too many classes. Seems like there is a lot of redundancy, classes that basically do the same thing in small different ways, and usually one of the classes is obsolete because of it. The number of classes actually group desirable is much smaller.

I love it (especially in alb) because the classes are so unique and provide many ways of playing the same archtype but in different ways. The reason I hate is (again, especially as an alb) the very reason you just said and the fact that it has always been rather difficult to build a solid alb group.


Then again though, now a days albs only zerg so i guess it isn't an issue anymore lol
