Some are,like the Forgemaster. But most of the races can use the assasin class for example.
That's horrible game design. Having Classes in a sandbox is bad enough but to further restrict classes from certain races is too much for me to handle. Just boggles my mind that a developer would put so much restriction in a sandbox game.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
Meh, Elks with fingers...wish they'd be brave and went with hoofs or something, eploring how can inteligent beings manage without oposable thumbs and stuff...or idk centaur Elk with 4 legs + arm-like appendages. Or something...creative... 2 legs, 2 arms + different skins/sizes = all the creativity most of MMOs can muster for a playable toon. Tsk.
And yeah, omg, pls let there be character creation of any decent sorts...use dem voxels yo.

I would bet the classes are limited race bound in that one race may only have afew option for classes etc. (this is similar to how race/class played out in shadowbane).
It looks like you can choose from various Archetypes, but you don't get to modify them, at least not visually, in that sense its a bit like a moba's characters, or something like Marvel Heroes, where you choose a character.
which is the hook for the cosmetics in the cash shop id assume. seems reasonable.
Probably, but having zero character creation options seems a bit backwards these days, just being able to swap shirts does seem a bit lacklustre if thats the only cosmetic options available, kind of curious though, why is there no character creation option in the game? just seems like a dumb move to use the same old cookie cutters without allowing for variation except the clothes they wear?
Some people actually care about the games lore. Race locks / few gender locks are there for lore reasons, and as stated by the developers.
i could care less about gender/race locks tbh, what i find 'odd' is that there is absolutely no character customisation at all, is it just to save on creating a character creation tool, because tbh, its such a step backwards that i can't help but feel its going to be a red flag on the game itself.
No worries mate, you just missed the "appearance" tab the character creation has. Currently the devs have stated that there will be at least a few appearance customizations, such as face and hair, but I wouldn't wait for anything over-complex.

I´d prefer 3-part hooves with 3rd part "playing" thumb, normal hooves on feet and maybe running (or only sprinting) on all 4.
