the interview on the last page says it. And its on some gaming sites already.

I'm good with that; or if you can switch from Paladin to Shadow Knight, have it involve a massive betrayal question and faction rep changes- not just visiting your local 'class re-trainer'
Mobs should try to destroy every city in the game and make players rebuild them or deal with no merchants, or broker, or fast travel (if there is any).
aye. that's about the one interesting point i took out of it: "we restrict it to how you?ve been acting in the game."
i think that so long as there are restrictions (that you can't be anything at any time) is important. moreover, i'd hope that they'd go beyond that and require certain skills to require certain weapons, casting to require light armor, etc etc. the more restrictions the better.
buuut i'd still want a mechanic wherein the more higher tier skills you use as a mage, the less points you have (therefore only can use tier 1 rogue/warrior.. something like that. )
with the multiclass system you should be able to employ both paladin and shadow knight abilities.
Devs talk about multiclassing at about the 10 minute mark of the video that was linked earlier.

13:00 also good multiclassing info.

Same times 1000. This did not seem like EQ. It seemed like GW2 and WoW and minecraft. That's cool and all, and i'm sure they will sell lots of boxes, but the art and combat (at least the little I've seen) are not what I was hoping for.
Also, why are they packaging Landmark as a cool MMO? Am I the only one that thinks they are being lazy devs and want us to create a game so they can profit?
This game also looks to be YEARS away from launch.
UT was right on so many levels. Hope my tears taste good.

I need more info about these nested classes.
1) why hasn't rogue/necromancer been a thing before? Is it a thing here? That is just a natural progression.
2) I want my paladin of tunare to not be a "paladin" or have more customization since those have typically been very mith marr/quellious/rodcet. I want a druid/warrior combo that makes me a heavy nature warrior rather than a light one (ranger). This has bothered me since about level 15 in EQ back in 2000.

I'd guess that is like some small part of the overall class advancement flow that they churching it up with. I'm sure they will have a variety of ways to progress and gain more classes etc but for my tastes that is one area they DON'T need to evolve. So many other areas they can improve the MMO treadmill on, give us some nice defined classes with true creativety behind them.

Those last bits about the classes made my hyperventilating slow. If becoming a top tier warrior, say a general or myrmidon, you have to spend months progressing various sub classes, then, if you want to remain top tier or whatever- you don't just start working on cleric progression, you keep at the warrior set. That would separate the adventurers from the raiders and identify like people mostly. Mostly
That's definitely possible, but we were talking about having certain restrictions on the class system? I missed it in the presentation if Georgeson said it was completely without restriction (which is possible, idk). I'm not sure I like the idea of certain opposing classes being mashed together (ie, holy smite together with disease rot).

For what its worth, I tried to tell everyone warn them that today was not going to be seeing even playable game despite what smed said, UT as well as me told them the math of the status of Everquest Next was simple at the earliest it be Nov to Dec 2014, truthfully it may even need to april or may 2015 but we all know SOE even if it needs that I see them ready or not launching this Nov to Dec 2014 at latest.
Cheers.

So if I wan to be a paladin and I am playing with some dick head friends who want to do bad things I have to tell them to fuck off and leave me out of it or risk losing my class?
The idea of that makes my balls tingle
