Looking for a Game With a Diversity of Classes
I have played a ton of MMOs out there and I believe I have honestly played the majority of them, both free to play and pay to play. However, I would like to hear other's opinions on the type of game I am looking for.
Pretty much I am looking for something that has;
-good population
-good pve or pvp, doesn't matter that much, either is fine, both doesn't hurt 
-a lot of classes to diversify the playerbase, I am looking for a game that has classes that have advanced classes or just a game with more than the basic warrior, mage, healer, scout roles
This does seem pretty basic and straight forward to me so I'm really just looking to see what everyone here thinks.
I was recently playing Legend of Edda and they say they have over 40+ classes but it's only in closed beta so I don't really feel like putting much time into it.
Here's the list of games I have played:
-City of Heroes
-Aion
-World of Warcraft
-Age of Conan
-Final Fantasy XI
-Final Fantasy XIV
-Star Trek Online
-Lineage 2
-Everquest 2
-Lord of the Rings Online
-Asheron's Call 2
-Aika
The list goes on and on, but those are some of them. Any help would be appreciated.
Free to play or pay to play, it doesn't matter that much to me.

its old but eq2 has the most classes ive ever seen in an mmo
I was looking into Everquest 2 Extended a bit back but realized that the payment model was a joke. Have they fixed it for the most part or does it still seem that you get less on the extended server when you're paying monthly or whatever the deal was back then?
i was looking into resubbing it before i decided to resub aion. It gave me the option to resub to live servers which are the original ones. The extended and normal game have different servers. However what i have heard is that the free has a major population difference. Thats why i decided to go with aion even though i have eq2 and all the expansions. From my understanding if your going to pay $15 a month its better off to go to the normal servers but with that comes a lack of a massive population. I heard its very top heavy now.
Hope it helps
It helped a bit. Thank you.
Anyone else have any other suggestions?
" Vanguard "
MAGA
Vanguard did have quite a number of classes, races as well. But, the population I hear for the game now is quite bad.
DDO?
Lots of classes and races + multiclassing
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
Guildwars has the most diversity with thier classes than any other game by far. You can change it at any time too and come up with builds that noone else uses so it really makes you unique (unless all you do is follow what is on the wiki .. .).
I agree that Vanguard would be the best P2P PVE-game with classes. Its a huge open beautiful world with lots to do.

There is only one way to find out and the game has a free 14 day trail. Check it out the download is not that big and there are a lot of interesting classes.

Try perfect world international its a great game with very lush graphics and with quite a diversity of classes. The grind only picks up after level 40 but other then that its a great game that the average MMO gamer should love.
Playing: WoW
Waiting On: SWTOR, GW2, Rift, TERA.

50+ jobs most ive seen in a mmo
Only game that i can think of that truly has class diversity is Dofus. It's not the amount the classes but whether they actually play differently. On many MMOs that have a lot of classes, the case usually is that they have a lot of tanks, a lot of healers, a lot of melee dps and a lot of caster/ranged dps. Multiple versions of pretty much the same thing.
