Any Theif like class?

I was just wondering. Is there going to be a theif like class or something close to its standards. lol. I recently was reviewing maplestory : (http://mapleglobal.com) and i envied the theif class.

Anyways some other questions;

Will we have a buddylist feature?
Will we have a party feature?
Will there be quests
Will people have custom shops?

Ill ask more if i dont get in interview contact with the makers before mid summer.

BTW: Can i do a preview on this MMORPG so i can post it on gamexc?

Thanks

Yes, there will be a thief class. They will be a stealthy class able to go invisible and disguise themselves into bushes or rocks. They can also set traps and backstab people as well as being able to detect traps and disarm them. And the better known skills are here too, pick pocketing and lock picking. An Archer is also considered a stealth class and can also turn invisible, but they are more like snipers.

Buddylists and Partys: We will most likely have these
Quests: Yes
Custom shops: Not discussed, but you will be able to craft items and sell them to people (methinks).

Most questions have probably already been answered in the suggestion forum or official ideas. Feel free to use the search feature as well.

When we have somthing suitable to present. But that is entirley up to SD if you can preview.

Yeah, I'm not sure if we should post this on onrpg.com or not. It's still a ways away from the beta stage still, so it's best to wait until at least 2006 before seriously considering telling everyone about the game.

But that's just my 2 1/2 cents.

When does a game go into beta stage?

When you have most of the basic features added and the game actually starts to take shape.
