OK, hot-shots. Which do you prefer to play on a MUD? The options are generalised to allow for different variations.

Personally, I'm a mage. If I don't have a colourful robe on, a mana potion in one hand and a fireball in the other, I'm just not happy.

My main is a Warrior Mage-using both elemental magic and weapons.

I like the healer classes, with the fighters and a good summoner coming in a close second.

Tough one.

For DragonRealms...Warrior Mage followed closely by Thief.

For GemStone III...Warrior followed closely by Sorcerer.

Eaxia...Rogue(base class), Thief(Second-tier class)

Other RPGs....depends on what's available. I've been an Assassin, Geomancer, Guardian and Del'Ezz(Think Thief with Warrior toughness), off the top of my head.

Favorite class?

Well, I'm in the middle of an entirely classless design. However, my design does allow for concepts - and my favorite, by far, is a Specialization/Ether-user with a focus on bare-handed combat.

Why? I don't know. Specialization/Ether-users are on the opposite end of the spectrum for Pugilism. And the abilities don't complement each other at all. But, damn, the pure 'fun' potential of that concept ^.^.
