What's a seven-letter synonym for Knight of the Blazing Sun?

We're still in the dark about many of the mechanics behind Eligium, the upcoming fantasy MMO from Frogster, but we now know a bit more about who players can be within the context of the world. Two races have been unveiled on the official site: the Human race, with the classes of Warrior and Mage, and the Viridis, who can become Druids. The classes are locked to given races, meaning that each individual class says a great deal about the race as a whole.

Humans are the only race who appears to get two different classes, with Warriors as heavily armored wrecking balls and Mages as long-range purveyors of destruction. The Viridis, meanwhile, are a green-skinned people who formerly studied under the Elves before breaking free and mastering the art of nature magic. The first preview of basic Druid abilities is also available, which should help potential players get an idea of what they want to play when the game starts up.

This game looks interesting. Hopefully it won't turn into another Asian-style grindfest.

lol asian grinder lol

Ah, more Shoulders of Doom. Good thing warriors don't need any peripheral vision.

@JonBuck Peripheral vision opens you up to peripheral attack. If I can't see them, they can't see me.

True story...some AI actually operates this way...
