Awesome!

I can't wait for the next one!

Nice!!!  Great article.  I can't wait to hear abou the other classes. 

For a question, you mention things like "Ilvari and Suwari are not as famous for their Warriors, but it’s unwise to underestimate a race’s prowess just because their ears are pointier than yours."  Does this indicate that your race will be a modifier unto your abilities?  Will an Ilvari Warrior be better at some warrior things, and worse at others due to their race?

Hope you get at least one night of sleep before they start grinding your fingers to nubs again.  We are all looking forward to your E3 presentation. 

will rogues be able to steal from other players?

Will players be able to beat the crap out of rogues they find stealing their stuff?

I like the multi-class system you are using - it works really well in Guild Wars which is what I am playing at the moment.

Will you be able to change your secondary class later in the game if you dont like the way its working out?

Is there a link to info on skills ? Are these totally class based?

Three cheers for dual-class!

I'm playing Guild Wars right now and love combining two classes. Thank you for having more than one class for each type (healers, tanks, etc.). The thought of being an extra effective healer by combining two healing classes gets me excited. :)

Good luck with the crazy time.

yes, i hope so. does anybody know the answer?

There has been no release stating anything about a rogues ability to steal from others, or even if such an ability exists for them.

I'm pretty sure I read an interview somewhere that stated they can not..

I remember because I was disappointed with that..

I'll look for it but no guarantees, remember there's aliens messing with my brain, so this could all be made up.

Ooh, finally some class info. It almost seems like each class is a dual-class. Like there are three sub-classes, and each class is made up of two of those, and then each character has two of those. So a Rogue/Gearknight would really be like a Melee/Control-Support/Melee/Control-Ranged. Or something. I dunno.

Hmm, Rogue/Gearknight.... uber damage + uber defense = uber... um, uber.

Now the Ranger is what I'm really interested in. That and Wizard. I'm either going with Ranger/Wizard or Ranger/Rogue. It really depends on how well the Wizard's spells can complement a bow.

Cool. I've been waiting for class info like this, it's my favorite type of info to get prior to an RPG's release. Sounds like Gearknights are the dedicated "tanks" of the game, eh? That's good, I always wanted warriors to be a bit separated from that (in my mind, a warrior is someone who has a balanced ability to deal out and take/avoid physical damage, and generally kicks hindquarters in melee).

I think the biggest issue with letting people change classes a lot, means people don't actually have to learn their class, and they can brush through testing them all, and instead of mastering the one they decide on, they are too busy trying to figure out what they want.

I don't think that any two class choices will really be better or worse than others, it just depends on how you want to hunt. If you want melee, pick melee classes, or if you want mixed melee and ranged or magic, do that.

But I believe sticking with it, will make you more efficent and a better fighter, than someone who tries to max out their character by selecting a "perfect class setup" 

Rougeaholic?!   I may pout...
