There are no classes in PS.  There are going to be a number of races (12?), some of which are implemented.  It depends on who you want your character to be - how can there be a \"best\" job/race/alignment?

There is no best.  A necromancer will be able to defeat a paladin and vice versa.  It all comes down to skill.  So, the best character class will only be the one in your opinion.

There\'s is no specific class ready-made. Mostly its gonna be like, if someone only uses curative magic, then they\'re prolly gonna call him a white mage, someone uses strong weapons and holy magic, then they\'ll call him a Paladin, its all free choice.

Well , in case you don t like the current version, and decide to uninstall it 3 days later , cause it s laggy , and cause you can t do anything,  i would HIGHLY suggest you to subscribe to the malling list which is very low traffic ( less than a mail / month ) , and you ll receive all majors new there ( like one about the a PS release ).

Also , there s  a lot of peoples which doesn t play the game , but hangs on the forums, chat on the irc, learn how to produce PS stuff and sometime give some help ( fixing this or that , making models , art , ect..), while waiting for the new release.

If you are currious, as the game is open source , you can learn all the in and out of the game, how it works , ect ....  the devs are quite busy and kept being bugged with questions , and eatch question they answer ( a lot ) is time lost for coding. But members of the community will be glad to answer questions ( if they have not already been asked 1000 time the same, and put the answer in a site they made, and in the forum, and in a fac, and on a channel topic)

The only things you can get from the upcoming release is the source for both server and client, and some sample/test datas ( means you have to know how to compile stuff to use it )

if you want the short version : subscribe to the mailling list

this said, have a good day   :)

Classes are evil. People are used to them because of D&D and other uber-rpgs. But i dont realy like that.
There are some \"classes\" in mb now, so you can create your char faster without thinking alot about adding points to specific skills.
But there are jobs! Not realy the same as classes. Mmmm... Cartography
But that wont be so in CB anyway. Youll see... it will be great!
