Choosing a "Class" in an MMO seems like the 2nd most psychological decision the player makes. The first is "Race". I want to talk about class first, because race gets a little dicey when we're talking about the 1930's and 40's in America. How much realism do you really want, right?
Ok so the classes in My Noir MMO could very well be:
Detective (of course)
-Private
-Pinkerton
-Police (Ranked)
Street
Patrol
Detective
Deputy DA, etc.
-Mob (Ranked)
Errand Boy/Girl—the Don
-Merchant (Ranked)
Street—Large Corp manager
- Movie personnel (Ranked)
Key grip—Mogul
-Newspaper Personnel (Ranked)
Paperboy/girl—Editor
etc...
Or maybe these are just professions one can choose and there is another "Class" distinction....
I don't know.

What is this?
This is my attempt to finally jot down a concept I have for a multi-player online game based in a 30's-40's era Southern California world. I've created a blog (possibly the worst way to codify an idea) because it's actually faster and easier than trying to find a piece of paper and pencil.
Quote of the Week:
He stopped, pretending interest in the shape the red puddle was taking. I knew pain had stopped him, but I knew he would go on talking as soon as he got himself in hand. He meant to die as he had lived, inside the same tough shell. Talking could be torture, but he wouldn't stop on that account, not while anybody was there to see him. He was Reno Starkey who could take anything the world had without batting an eye, and he would play it out that way to the end.
