    The possibility is only high if the completely re-write the original game code to expand the current limitations.

    I have a lot of doubts on the Dev's being knowledgeable enough to do that. I know of several failed attempts on private servers though, and they tend to do more with the game than our Dev's do.

    Hey SylenThunder,
    You seem to know more than most about the original code so here's a question...

    Is the current code limited to 5 races as well as limited to 2 classes per race?
    Just wondering if it is possible to add a third class for each race. (so each has an AA LA and HA type)
    b:question

    What about when the Tide Born came out? and the Earth Guard? Didn't they had to re-write for those too? b:surrender

    It's 10 class variations. Races are only a factor from an organizational standpoint.

    Those were already partially designed by the original devs from Archosaur Group that actually created the game. All our devs did was complete an unfinished product. If you'll notice, they weren't even able to get the tree movement hooks right, and they still haven't figured out how to do the aerogear upgrades.

    Hell, there's a lot of stuff from the original devs that still hasn't been implemented, and likely won't ever be.

    All I ever wanted was the Black Sand Palace and they come out with more classes >.>

    The game is broken enough as it is, I really wouldn't like new classes to **** it all up even more.
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    I started a mystic because I had just returned to the game, and I didn't really think I was gonna be back permanently b:laugh

    I'd happily return to 2008 when there were only 6 classes and everything was balanced.

    If the devs could create new classes that would be balanced I could live with that, but history makes me really doubt of their competence.

    What could be nice if they ever decide adding new classes, a class that can cast fire spells.
    We only have wizards who have a path dedicated to fire damage.
    ...

    Okay, venos have Blazing Scarab and I remember both barbs and blademasters having some skills that deal "secondary" fire damage, but there are no "paths" that specialize in fire skills. As for other elements:

    Water - psychics have a water path.
    Wood - venos and I think mystics.
    Metal - clerics, archers, seekers.
    Earth - again, psychics.
    Fire - wizards reign. I find it funny that the DoT icons for the three elements all come from wizard skills (hilariously enough the water DoT icon is actually the icon for the sage/demon hailstorm).

    Since I saw a picture of some "demonic" kind of race, why wouldn't they be fire casters? Maybe even combined with another element, something that hasn't been combined yet? (fire/metal ?)

    Wizards - the only pyromaniac class.
