Today, we publish the fourth in our series of features on The Chronicles of Spellborn. This time around, Jon Wood looks at the facts around the races and classes that will be available in the game.

In the last few articles that I've written about The Chronicles of Spellborn, I've talked a lot about things like sound and art style. Both of these subjects are important, and any first-class game needs to be on the ball in terms of these departments, but still, in terms of excitement, nothing compares to talking gameplay.

In this article, you can expect to hear a little something about what you can expect in making and progressing your character. We're talking about races and classes this time around, and, as is the case with most things in The Chronicles of Spellborn, it isn't all what you'd necessarily expect from a fantast MMO.

Races

In many fantasy-based MMORPGs, players are faced with a broad selection of character races. At the very least, you usually get the basics: Human, Elf, Dwarf and some kind of Halfling-type race.

The Chronicles of Spellborn offers only two races. Both of these races were once servitors and slaves to the "Eight Demons" (the bad guys who ruled over the world before it broke into small shards). Now that they Eight Demons aren't such a direct threat, each race is coming to their own.

Read the whole article here.

Cheers,

Great info, I think this is going to be the MMO for me. Im tired of the same old concepts. I think the industry can do without another cookie-cutter midevil fantasy MMO. We have plenty companies trying to reinvent the wheel (WOW) to no avail. It's time to move on to new concepts and stories. I welcome TCOS's bold move forward. Great job guys!

Those are the exact same reasons why I'm looking forward to this game. =)

There's not classic stealth though. The skinshifter's 'stealth' is purely done by taking over the shapes of creatures from the world, not by becoming invisible. I really wonder how this is going to work out.

I love how its considered "turning the fantasy genre on its ear" when you add animal parts to a humanoid form and drop some non-human races, lol give me a fucking break

It is done for me, if there is no healer I will not play. That is the class I like to play.

And for the class you choose later on, I will pass too, I did not like that in EQ2. Waiting until you are level 20 to see if you like you template is a waste of time for me.

it's funny... for months you get people complaining WAR is going to be just like WoW and then when it turns out to be a 100% different game everyone crys its not like WoW....
