Age of Conan : Hyborian Adventures
if anyones interested. even though this has loads of classes, you start out without a class, before picking an 'archetype' after a few levels, then after some more levels you pick the final class. so you could pick mage as your archetype before eventually choosing necromancer as your speciality, for example. also, the game is apparently aimed at older players, as opposed to wow or even warhammer.
neither warhammer, conan or even lotro can fail to be better than wow though. it was great when it came out in 2005; its been a massive pile of wank for at least a year.
