Limited Edition Classes

Nexon wouldn't be the first though.

Dungeons & Dragons Online recently went F2P w/ Microtransactions. One of the optional payments is apparently buying classes that you can only get with paying money. So nothing new... but I wonder if they'll just reopen creations later in the future.

Same with another game that a friend of mine used to play. game in question: Dofus. pay for the advantages, what they were, and gain access to one class. the class was a panda that fought with its fist, and got drunk to do so, but it was one of the hardest classes to play as.

personally, i like this. it opens up a LOT of story to it. a LOT! Imagine that the school is found by the dark lord, and then he and sulhee have an epic dual to the end, and Sulhee, after thoroughly kicking the dark lords ass, is about to deal the final blow, and has a sudden attack of the "i love him still"'s, and he uses a cheap attack and that KO's her. i mean, he KILLED her father, whats not to say he wont betray her AGAIN? lying in defeat and shame, she vows to leave the city and to take her ways with her, to another land. thereby, the dark lord assures his dominance as the master of all theives in maple-land, and instead of dealing with the traitors, he takes them under his wing and accepts them as his own. he learns from them, and takes sulhee's teachings and makes them his own.

then, the real thief legend shows up...
