Classes play a significant role in MMORPGs. They define what kind of hero you play. There are even online role-playing games where you have a very large selection of classes. MeinMMO presents 6 of them.
If you have choices, you have dilemmas when it comes to classes in MMORPGs. Would you rather be the fighter charging boldly into battle or would you prefer to cast fireballs as a wizard? Do you want to heal or strike from the shadows as an assassin?
There are MMORPGs that offer an enormous number of classes so that every player can really choose the role that suits them. We would like to introduce you to 6 such online role-playing games.

ArcheAge
Setting: Fantasy | Developer: XLGames | Platforms: PC | Release: January 15, 2013| | Website: ArcheAge Website
What kind of game is this? ArcheAge is a sandbox MMORPG where you explore a vast world full of challenges and adventures. There is essentially no overarching story; you write your own story.
To do this, you create a hero and take on a role in the game world. This can be an adventurer exploring uncharted lands or a craftsman making weapons and equipment for fighters.
In addition, you will experience quests that tell smaller and larger stories, through which you learn more about the lore. PvP also plays an important role.
How many classes are there? In ArcheAge, it is possible to create your hero from 220 classes. This happens through various combinations of skill sets. There are said to be even more combinations to come.
Why are there so many classes? ArcheAge relies on so-called skill sets that grant you different abilities. There are 12 sets, of which you can combine three. This means that you can create 220 classes through these combinations that actually differ from each other.
Each class can take on its own roles in the game, and it also makes sense to think carefully about which skill sets you combine to take on the role you want to play.
