The name of their profession?
Like: Blacksmith, Rogue, Chef, etc...

No, more like "adventurers" kind of thing. A general term for someone who has a class / profession. Sort of like "Professional"

Let's say you're a level 10 warrior or something, so you're a level 10 "professional".

adventurer is used sometimes? Or specialized

Everybody has a class/job whatever technically so nobody would use a term for people who have jobs and those who don't. Only a few games allow you not to have a job like Ragnarok and even then you get assigned a base one.

WMW calls it Profession, although Class would've been a better fit imo

@Riftwalker ok so what do you say when there's lots of people with different classes and what you're interested in noting is their levels. e.g. "Professionals over level 10 or higher."

@RynDeeVuo the thing is, it's not about class/profession/vocation etc, it's about Professional, "classer", "practioner", or something like that. A person with a class.

Nobody says that, everybody has class man what's this about seriously?

@Katsono a term for NPCs that have class professions

classified, job

@Astaroth yeah it doesn't exist, like seriously, where did you get this idea?

@L4 maybe I'm just not making myself clear enough, but I'm looking for if there's a way to call someone "A person that has a class" e.g. a "classer" if you will.

I'm not sure if there actually is any word for this, so anyone can feel free to just come up with something that would work if they can.

@Katsono this is just something I randomly thought of while reading and it basically said "people with professions" instead of a word for it.

I never said there is any for it, that's basically why I'm asking what would you call it.

I tried to google this question: "how to call characters with a class"

Google gave me results of Java programming lessons, sorry I can't help you

So you want to invent one? Then I think you should use a more fantasy term, because it doesn't have any sense from a technical point of view.

@Katsono What doesn't? I'm giving examples of what it would mean, not what it would be called. If I had something I wouldn't ask?

I'm getting a bit confused, and it seems you're upset for some reason or something...

There doesn't have to be an answer to this, it's just something I thought of...

Of course if someone does think of anything I would like to know~~

I'd just call them "specialized" honestly mate, that's a term

specialized short for specialized characters

Giving an example: Unlike every other normal user beyond level 20, Lord Grim was not a specialized. People were confused to see him playing an old forgotten playstyle refered to as "the unspecialized"

honestly I would go with something more like "ranker(s)", but it doesn't exactly fit with class, unlike classer, but classer doesn't sound like something an NPC (person from fantasy world from their perspective) would say.

At least I don't think so.

I was saying, there's no logic in having NPCs with classes and others without, from a technical perspective. It'd never happen in a real game

Now if it's a fantasy universe or something then yes, but then the word wouldn't be a technical one, based on technical terms like class, profession, etc. So you'd use something like awakened instead.

Your last post is where I was going at, a technical term doesn't sound like what a npc would say.

Ok so I went back to check what it was I read since so many people got interested / riled up, and this is basically it (originally MTL that I edited a bit to make sense):

"among them at least over half were high level Class." So what would you call "class" here? e.g. Classers or Rankers, etc.

seems like Class can be used just Class

Probably classers but if you're translating... Might as well improve the original work >.>

I think you can just say classes as in people with classes anyway. Just like how you can say a lot of professions.

@Katsono @Riftwalker it's not really that simple since every person has a class, even if they're just a "commoner", but you wouldn't call that an actual class unlike warrior / mage / rogue etc.

@L4 that's because MTL is bad and didn't translate "person" since it didn't know what to do with it.

If everybody has a class then there's no reason to have a word for people with classes if there's nobody without classes. Maybe you want to say something like "fighting classes"?

And I'm not actually translating anything, I'm just reading, and while I was reading I just randomly took note of it.

of course I could understand that Class wasn't just class as I read, so I had no problem reading it (I am reading MTL in the first place after all, that's the least of your problems with MTL)

I just thought of what it would have been if someone actualyl did translate it

I'm pretty sure it's just supposed to be classes there, not classers. Just saying classes work perfectly.

@Katsono "at least over half are high level classes" you mean?

That sounds more like the classes in and of themselves are high level, not the people with classes

Actually I guess it could be reworded as "at least over half have/had high level classes", though it's still a bitl ike the above

Did the raw say class person? If so I guess he was trying to make up a word... But you should just say high level players then.

If it's pertaining to people, use people/players not classers =.= why make up useless word even the author probably only used once or twice.

职业者 -> class/profession + person or suffix "-er" "-ist" "-or" e.g. Proffesion-al, Class-er etc

In other words, a person that has a class/porfession/career/ whatever

and of course it's gamified since it's an rpg

Just ignore the weird neologism, it's not like the author is a professional in his own language or something.

Construct-or, lobby-ist :P

And I already said that I already "ignored" it, I had to specifically go back to find it again... :c

I just "randomly" say things whenever I feel like it, right? :P

that's how wall posts work x)

Easier to identify, meh... They use the same logic to say gamer instead of video game player. Stupid labelling imo =.=

No it's not, you're trying to make us discuss something instead of writing role-playing stuff or something that doesn't make any sense.

what?

That was sarcastic >.> just check what 90% of wall posts are like and you'll understand.

yeah like I'm not completely random, but you can see that I just post whatever... As for what other wall post say I don't really read anyone's in particular. Mostly it's just spam if you ask me

How's it broader? Gamer is supposed to include more? Then isn't that the meaning of player?

oh yeah now that I've got some people who are going to be notified, what song is this from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQfAAflTQfQ&feature=youtu.be&t=299

Yeah it is spam, that's why I was kind of praising you.

No idea but sounds like San Andreas' loading screen.

now I understand what you were saying lol. when you said role play I was thinking of RPG, as in video games...>.<

People say gamer for only video games as far as I know? It's a label for them more than a term that's useful in any way. It sounds ugly too.

It's not about being negative, it's about the label existing only for a group of people to identify to it.
