Wrong. This wasn't an option at the very beginning. You sure? :? When I started, about a week after the release, you had to choose one of the following: Warrior, Adventurer, Ranger, Wizard, Necromancer. Warrior started with 3 in all fighting stats and 12 hits. Also with a bronze long and wooden shield. Adventurer with 2 in all fighting. Also some items like tinderbox, bronze axe, jug, pot. Ranger with 6 range I think. Shortbow and 10 arrows. Wizard with 7 good magic, a staff and a blue wizards hat. Necromancer with 7 evil magic, a staff and a black wizards hat. Miner was added later but started with 7 mining and a pickaxe. Ah now this description is correct :) I was trying to point out not all of those options mentioned were available, but these were. Nice one! Oh noes I forgot that miner was added later in the game? It was 4 years ago you know. You don't have to be so arrogant about it.
