Or has anyone been able to or tried too?

If so lemme know, way to many classes to balance for me, id like to keep it simple on my server since ill probably be the only dev.

So if anyone has a solution to this lemme know, it will probably be in the code itself so id have to custom compile.

Although the support hasn't been added to the login server to do this, the login server is capable of restricting both classes and races. The plan is to get the list of allowed race/classes from the server whenever it connects to the login server so we can disallow them there.

Personally, I am going to be doing this on Sytherian Legends (only going to be 16 classes) by letting them pick a class, and when they first log in, the zone script is going to reset them to a lvl 1 commoner. Then the first quest will have them pick a class, sorta like how EQ2 was when it was released.

Nice, that would be cool.

Sounds like a nice feature

I liked the old character class quests

I liked being able to pick your class after you entered the game. Not confusingly pick one then get into the game and be a "commoner", though that is what we have, and will definitely work. I'm just so picky.

Has the SetClass(Spawn, 1) lua script been changed for it to make the class change permanent in the database or no?

Nope, SetAdventureClass and SetTradeskillClass only set the class temporarily. Would you like it to save the class? I assume you want to use it for characters?

would that mean kicking the user to have the new class show in game?

could do a lua os.execute with a sql script and then kick them?

A kick wouldn't be necessary since we can update almost anything without forcing the character to zone. I just send to change a couple of things. Look for this feature tomorrow.

Another question since it's on roughly the same topic:

Would it be possible to also allow all races to start with any class? I'm going to not want to have to use betrayal quests. I want to be able to log in and make a Rat Ranger or an Ogre Paladin.
