Frictionless Insight has posted a preview of the upcoming Dark Age of Camelot. Here’s a snippet:

You’ll play and train as a generalist in your base class until level 5, at which point you’ll be instructed to join the guild of an advanced class. The advanced classes are further specialized versions of your base class and usually involve selecting what you might call the “pure” version of your basic class or something more of a hybrid. By way of example, a healer from the realm of Albion may, at level 5, choose to become a Cleric, the classic healer with advanced aid-type spells but weak melee ability, or to become a Friar, with weaker healing and aid spells but more advanced combat skills. It is at level 5 that you will gain many of the skills that define your class and which are there for you to develop throughout your career. When you gain a level, you’ll earn skill points you can invest in training your skills by talking to a trainer for your class. In addition, as you level, you’ll be awarded new special skills from the guild you have joined.
