This topic is a VERY hot topic at the moment, which has been slightly nullified because of the pre-order and release date information, but however, I will still be discussing this topic in this article.
In the red corner you have the Lore-Junkies and Anti-Pvp’ers/Carebears, which will stop at nothing to keep Turbine from making the big change (this is not limited to blackmail, torture etc)

In the Blue corner you have the WoW Kiddies and Hardcore PvP’ers, which will continue to execute hostages untill thier demands have been given to them.

But what of the debate? There have been many, and long thought out posts containing reasons for and against the FFA PvP and RvR. However, 85% of these people who want Evil races just want them for the thrill of being evil, I can say that myself have been lured into the temptation of evil. (If walking cows in WoW count, then yes, I’m evil)
Is that so much to ask? To be free from the troubles of ‘good’? Havnt you ever looked at a huge battle in a game or movie and said to yourself: “It would be have been easier to be evil”? And you cant say that Undead dont get all the chicks, I mean, who WOULDNT want a rotting corpse as a BF?

I can admit right now that I am a hardcore Tolkien fan, but I would have also fancied to have an Alt as an evil character, but I am confronted with the ‘Lore’ and ‘Fun’ issues which I shall explain.

On one hand, you have the ‘Lore’, which is a huge part of the Tolkien universe, and Tolkien would be rolling in his grave if he knew that Turbine were going to implement free-willed evil races. On the other hand you have the aspect of ‘fun’, which incorporates the large scale PvP battles that were depicted in the movies and books.
However Turbine decided to implement a PvP system called ‘PvMP’ which is a definate answer to to the FFA PvP’ers and the Lore purists.

What does PvMP have?

• Good PC’s Vs Evil PC’s? – Check.
• Persistant Evil characters? – Well, in one sense yes, so check.
• Battle for areas of land within the PvMP zones? – From what I know of from Devs, check.
• Variety of Evil PC’s to be? – Check.
• Gankable Hobbits? – Within this zone, yes, so Check.

As you cans see, PvMP is the obvious answer to both sides of the great Evil/Good argument, without losing too much customers on either side, but does this fully satisfy either side? No, so this debate will probably never ever end.

Well, here I am, sitting at my computer at 3:00 am in the morning, in my work uniform, writing this article for all of you. I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY.

Ok, enough about that, time to start the real, main chunk of the post.

Todays Information: My take on 3 of the Classes.

When you look at that title, you may be thinking “but Karl, we already know all about the classes! You need not tell us about them!”
If you are thinking that right now, then you are obviously a lying communist, who needs to be stapled to a wall, then beaten to death with a strip of sheet metal.

This Article is on 3 classes only, as I have personal views on these, and feel I need to get them out in the open.
- Lets start with the Guardian, we all know, that the Guardian will be mainly a solo class, that means they have huge strength and abilitys that complement the player.
What you dont know is, this class was created for epileptic twelve year olds, with sweaty, bulbous claws for hands, that flail out uncontrollably at random objects.

Why else would they make a class that requires you to sit there and ‘flail’ out at a number on the keyboard corresponding to the hotkey for your special attacks. (Alternativly, you could go play Counterstrike, as they have a similar system called ‘camping with awps wtf’)
It all boils down to being completly lazy, and Turbine made this class for all the people who cant lift their hand higher than the mouse, so therefore, not much work will be involved.

Some people say that I’m immature when it comes to being professional, but I actually pride myself on that. I would also like to take this opportunity to point out that all people who play this class are fat.
- Next in the beating line is the Captain, we all know that this is a support/solo class, which is similar to the Guardian, which is only avaliable to Man, what you dont know about it is, that when creating a Captain character, the game will ask you a series of questions, such as: “Are you a Homosexual?”, “Have you had any experiance with having no hands/feet?”, “Do you enjoy looking at pictures of TubGirl, and/or Goatse?”.

if you answer ‘no’ to any of these questions, the game instantly uninstalls itself, then uploads viruses to your computer, such viruses include “Viritual Birdflu” and “This is the name of the virus” Virus.
After that, the game disk will explode (even if its not in your CD drive) then you will suddenly die, and all of your family and immediate family will utter a collective gasp, then wonder who the body on the floor belongs to. You think im joking wonderboy? Just go ahead and try it sucker.

However, if you answer yes to all of these questions, you will be treated to a flashing message on screen that subconsciously says “kill you parents” before the game uninstalls itself. Only 2 people in the entire beta managed to actually play as the Captain, the first person was the class creator of Turbine, and the other was Chuck Norris.

- The third class for the electic chair is the Burglar, as you all know, this class is a stealth, hit and run tactics, similar to the Rouge from World Of Warcraft (I have an excellent movie making Rouge, so if you want to make a movie starring my character, drop me a line and we’ll talk about pricing). What you dont know about this class, is that this class is better known in the beta as the “OH MY GOD LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU BLAARGH!” class.

Burglars are for the hardcore PvMP’er. Thats it. There is no PvE content for the Burglar.

Im just kidding, there is PvE content, but the game has been patched to fix bugs in the Burglar system.

• Grass can no longer unstealth burglars.
• Burglars can no longer hack into “The Matrix” while stealthed, Neo had problems with being ganked by invisible hobbits.
• Burglars names Bilbo or Frodo, or any other spinoff of the names, will have their accounts perma banned, and millions of dollars billed to their credit card.
• Air molecules no longer kill Burglars, however, pointy air molecules still can.
• Burglars can no longer Burgle peoples house in RL.
• Gravity has been set to ’0′ for burglars. How else would they be invisible if they werent smkoing something strong?

In addition to these lore changes, Turbine have also given the Burglars imense strength, ability to use all weapons, and the ability to transform into a dragon, they did this because they realised that the Burglars were the best class in the game and therefore, should be the only class.
