Do you miss old D&D class names?

Do you miss the "traditional" D&D class names? e.g. Magic-user, Thief, etc.

 

[Crothian]

no. I mostly didn't use the class names in game anyway so they rarely served much of a purpose.

I not only miss the class names, but the old 1E level names. "25 more xps and I'm an Acolyte!! Whoopie!"

Not at all. Changing the class name from Thief to Rogue was an incredibly good move in 3e.

I still use them when I am not speaking in "rules official" language. Most NPC's refer to thieves as thieves and wizards as wizards. Fighters, rangers, barbarians, and paladins are all warriors to most of my NPC's and clerics are priests.

I do miss those level names though...they were cool!

Don't miss them one bit. They don't effect anything in game, really. Just a name for OOC reference.

As for those level names, they live in my game as titles among organizations.

I don't really miss them. The names at each level in the old days was sort of fun, but I wouldn't say I miss them.

I voted for "Miss 'em" before I read the post, assuming that you referred to the level names. No, I don't miss the class names.

The level names were nice, but I don't miss them. I do miss the concept of "name level," though. A level where you can be considered to have "made it" (in an official sort of way).

IT really happened in 2nd edition, sort of .


Anybody miss the original name for the fighter class?
