Well as I stated above, you would be able to rename all the default classes, their sprites, stats, everything. Also you would be able to disable their advanced integration.
So unless youd need more than the 32 (IIRC) characters for each sex, there shouldnt be a problem.

And then those classes created with the install, have their abilities un-editable and also have the option of disabling that whole class. That way classes created with the install will have their abilities, and those who wish to have custom classes can choose abilites if wanted. Sure you won't please everyone, but atleast in my opinion you'll be able to please the majority.

That would be a good idea, though I doubt people would get their eyes up about this thread just because of that.
What I could do is set a master switch, IE offer the option of either use this old system (free exchange/adding of classes, but replacing Delete with Disable), or the new system. Then I could offer to code an advanced integration for users per request (and, if I feel I can do it, for a small fee. $5 or so), enabling them to use their advanced integration. I could also make a plugin system similar to the upcoming vB3.5, and allow the import/export of plugin code and DB entries so that people could code and share their own advanced integration scripts.

How does this sound?
