Class Selection

When you first join the server, you'll need to select a class. This choice affects your gameplay experience, so choose wisely! You can view information about each class before making your decision using /class list and /class info.

Tip: Consider pairing your class with a compatible race for optimal synergy. For example, Vanguard pairs well with Dwarf for maximum tanking, while Berserker works excellently with Orc for maximum damage output.
