The lore behind the updated classes is that some races have been trained by others in practices needed for war while others have taken it upon themselves to learn and adapt. The specific new options are:<br />
<ul>
    <li>Goblin - Dreadknight &amp; Ranger</li>
    <li>Orc - Rogue</li>
    <li>Raki - Bard</li>
    <li>Dark Elf - Ranger</li>
    <li>Kurashasa - Bloodmage</li>
    <li>Mordebi - Necromancer</li>
    <li>Dwarf - Ranger</li>
    <li>Halfling - Paladin</li>
    <li>Vulmane - Monk</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/16/teach-a-man-to-fish/">Teach a player to fish</a> in one MMO and they can figure it out in the others... but not here. Fishing in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/vanguard/">Vanguard</a> </em>has been set up as more interactive than in many other games. Instead of just clicking to cast and then waiting for the splash, you actually have to time and aim your cast so that there are fish present and you don't scare them off. Then, once you have a bite, you must fight to get the fish out of the water.<br /><br />There is also a new Enchantment ability available at level 50, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleon">galleon</a> schematics to be had, a games arena, and new events. So <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/22/player-vs-everything-singing-the-praises-of-vanguard/">if you're so inclined</a> or are just looking for more to do at level 50, head over to the test server to get a sneak peak.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/03/vanguard-gets-new-features-and-expands-race-class-combos-on-test/">Vanguard gets new features &amp; expands race/class combos on test</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 03 Dec 2008 11:00:00 EST.
