MMORPG.com: How happy are you with the implementation of the new character progression?

Scott Hartsman: I’m extremely happy with it. I do think that the Archetype system was a valuable experiment, but in practice it’s just so much more satisfying to be able to dive right into being the Berserker, Necromancer, or Shadowknight that most people approach the game wanting to be in the first place.

MMORPG.com: Are there any plans for “racial” experiences, whether in the early game or the later game?

Scott Hartsman: This was actually one of the big goals of the character changes: Greater distinction in the game’s various races. People who haven’t started a new character since might not even know about it.
