Before asking whether you want to use classes. Ask whether you are going to use levels. Obviously if you are going to use levels it is going to be pure-pk, or a godwars type mud without levels, which I think is much better. I never liked levels, they just set the game apart from a feeling of you being the character, and I prefer rp-enforced muds so levels definitely need to be tossed. Classless or Classes it doesn't really matter for a roleplay mud because you can make it work either way. I don't know what kind of mud you plan on creating so I can't give you accurate advice, if it's going to have a lot of work done on it and you're an able coder, go for level-less with classes, I find that it works much better if the mud implements classes then if they let people pick from a list of skills.
