Class called spy ?

"During character creation, players must choose one of four races (a wood elf, a dwarf, a dark elf or a human) and one of four combat schools (warrior, archer, spy or spellcaster)."

If I'm not totally wrong here you have a spy class animated, done and ready to go with couple fixes?:P
Would be nice to know the story behind this ^^

AS far as I know it was inteneded for that to be a class, but it was cut off at some point during development, (and from the looks of Hunter it would be similer, camo... Tracking (spying)... )

I wouldent hold your breath

I never went berserk and start waiting my life for this. But tbh, making the archer class "more archery", with out the camo etc and implementing a stealther type class would bring new aspects to the game

There was such class in RO. But then NGD removed realm chat (to lower lag - yes lol) so hunters can't inform about enemy movement anymore.

Hello,

Before this turns into a slew of unfounded rumours (Frania, I'm looking at you), here it goes:

- Yes, initially there was the intention to do a Stealth class. No, it never made it due to development constraints and it's not currently on our immediate/future plans.
- Global chat outside the realm (not general chat) was removed because of a design decision, one of the consequences of that decision was a small performance boost on the server but never the main reason. This was explained a thousand times but people took this out of context and of course , the only thing new players hear is "it was removed to reduce lag! Yes, I swear to you I was there when they decided over a tequila shot!".
Also, please consider that 1) Global chat is still inside the realm (so new players can ask for help, etc), and 2) There are War Banners (albeit premium but really cheap) that help people organize on the War Zone.

I'll leave this open so you can continue to discuss of what a Spy class could have been but please try to stay on that topic.

Regards

:* I am talking about hunters role in this game which was also spying aka reporting army movement which was ruined cause of lag reduction - removing realm chat. I thought it was obvious for so intelligent guy like you. And don't lie. Look for posts made by NGD crew. It was explained as lag reduction. And about Banners... i would say something not nice.

I am waiting for you to say sorry about your behavior.
