Star Wars: The Old Republic announced today a new advanced class system. Read more about it here.

It looks to be a pretty sound idea. You get to choose a core set of skills when you create your character, and then later down the road you can fine tune your characters skills specifically to your playing style. Aion tried to do something like this when you got to level 10 you could choose an advanced class. Let’s hope that SWTOR will learn many lessons from Aion, both good and bad.
