When you're dealing with a publisher, it's really great being able to compare and often face problems together." Despite the general membership of the game and the background strain, there is not a conversion of PC to Class3.
The founder of Undead Labs explains that in his opinion Class3 is an opportunity to clear the MMO console users, and the only way to succeed in such an undertaking is to design the product around the platform for which it was born, bearing in mind its peculiarities.
