While multiclassing has been overall good for Aetolia, there have been a
number of issues with the restrictions and distrubition of classes
across the game's conflict spectrum. As such, we decided to do away with
our old class compatibility system, and over the past few weeks we have
been designing and coding in a new system for class restrictions.

Each class, with the exception of a small number of neutral classes,
will be tethered to either the Spirit or Shadow realm. One can not hold
classes from both realms, but may hold any neutral class in conjunction
with either tethering.

The list of classes and their tethering is as follows:

SPIRIT NEUTRAL SHADOW
--------------------------------------------
Ascendril Lycanthrope Bloodborn
Druid Monk Cabalist
Luminary Syssin Indorani
Templar Carnifex
Sentinel Sciomancer
Zealot Teradrim
Praenomen


Obviously, some of these tetherings do not currently fit with the
perceived mechanics and roleplay behind a class. These issues will be
addressed in the future in the form of class revamps and minor changes
to add flavour.

In addition to this multiclass-based tethering, cities have also been
tethered to a realm. Anybody whose classes are tethered to a realm that
is the opposite of the city's realm are unable to join that city.

City tetherings are as follows:
Bloodloch and Spinesreach are aligned with Shadow.
Duiran and Enorian are aligned with Spirit.


Obviously, there are some people who have currently conflicting
classes/cities. Your current active class has been cleared and you will
need to give up any class that isn't aligned with the tethering you want
to keep before you can switch to an active class. You will receive a
full refund in lessons for losing any classes, but this ONLY applies to
those who have conflicted tethers. In addition to this, if you are
forced to give up a class to conflicted tethers and possess a
class-specific artifact for that artifact, please leave a message with
Galleus to discuss a refund of the artifact.
