A Non Serious Look at Classes

A Non Serious Look at Classes By Vasily Tedeev V is happy that he took up writing again, something he had dreamed of doing ever since he was nine years old. Being a nonconforming combination of a social party animal and a gamer, he realized that his life amounted not to just games and women, but that he had to pursue his passions and self-development in other areas as well.

As MMOs have progressed from text-based MUDs to full blown game worlds we have today (or wish to believe that we have them), certain game play mechanics and concepts are still common in a vast majority of the games we play. While playing one online game or another, you have encountered a variety of characters and play styles. Today we take a more relaxed approach to gaming and look at what we have come to expect from and associate with certain class personalities. Ladies and gentleman, we bring you - class attitudes!

The Warrior

Sometimes referred to as Gladiator, Berserker or any other name that evokes images of big weapons, fights with groups of monsters and pools of blood. Some of the more prevalent attitudes associated with warriors are described below.

• Keep animals, small pets and children at a safe distance
  It is common knowledge that the first question a Warrior asks whenever he sees a new object in the vicinity is - can I kill it? Some don't even ask the question, preferring to jump straight into the fray. So if you want to keep the little ones safe and alive, tell them to stay away.

• Fighting groups of monsters is exciting, irrelevant of how large they are
  

  The bigger the group that a warrior takes down, the more boost he gets to his ego and image. Not to mention the bragging rights! In this way, warriors throughout in-game worlds pay tribute to king Leoniads and the brave three hundred who fought the armies sent by a thousand nations of the Persian Empire.
