There is been a lot of news about possible new features arriving with the upcoming Cataclysm expansion AION GOLD. I covered one of those recently AION GOLD, that being the possibility of new race/class combinations, ones that were previously unavailable to player characters.

Now, this feature would actually make a ton of sense, especially taking the following into consideration to get AION GOLD.

We have had the same 9 classes available for going on 5 years now. With new races being added in Cataclysm, there is almost certainly no hero class. It is quite likely that the new races will be unable to be Death Knights to get AION GOLD, at least at first. The leaked information from MMO-Champion suggests that Azeroth is getting a makeover, graphically and design-wise. The Paid Faction Switch service is coming soon, and adding these new combinations would bring is almost 100% parity between factions in terms of classes available about AION GOLD. Blizzard has been tossing quests that hint at these new combinations into the past few patches and onto the PTR about AION GOLD.

But of course, the AION community is a fickle beast, and what they seem to be focusing on here tends not to be the gameplay benefits of adding new race/class combinations, but the "lore-breaking" aspects of said combinations.

Well, I do not think any of these are unreasonable, and in fact many of them have precedents in lore. To make the discussion more interesting, I have brought in my lore-hound colleague Daniel Whitcomb, and we will expound on each new possible option to give you clear reasons why they are not only plausible, but likely. On top of that, I am bringing in our class columnists to give their insight on the new choices and explain their pros and cons in terms of gameplay!
