| Multiband | ||
| How does it differ? | Multiband's name and principal change comes from the fact that the game allows players to adopt extra classes. As the player reaches 25th level in his initial class, they can then take on a second class. Once 25th level is achieved in the second class, they can then choose a third, and so on. | |
