Well, I have two questions, and ill try to make it short. What is fame for, and when you have a sub class, you attain their skills...is there a max level you can have those skills, LOWER than level 12? Or do they not get as powerful er what?

Well subclasses got all the skills the mainclass would have, same attributes and everything just that every class used as a mainclass got some "special" attibute like....Energy Storage with a Elementalist, allows ya to have more Spellpoints(Mana/MP)...every class got such a special attribute line. You cant sue them with subclasses tho, so a Warrior/Elementalist couldn't use Energy Storage BUT Strenght, the Warriors attribute.

I see, and another thing, so many questions lately...When you get 250 exp, you get a point that allowes you to take off an atribute point, how many can you store at once? And when you have 1, and you have an atribute that is at level 12, and you want to dsecrease it...is 1 point enough, or will you need 20 becasue that is home much you need to get it from level 11-12?

They are called Refund Points. You could store 24 (don't know if it will be changed for next beta and/or release.) If you had an attribute at 12 and wanted to make it 11, you would need only 1 Refund Point.

What about Fame? What the hell is that?

Looking around, I just realized something...not only what is fame, but What does PvE stand for? And Pv- something...cant remember, I know PvP is playervs Player...can you have a character that does all of them?

I beleive that fame is merely a numerical value that can be used to compare yourself, or your guild with others. It's aquired from winning PvP battles.

As of now, fame does not give you anything except for the "fame staff". The staff grows and changes appearances as your fame increases in rank. There is a speculation that ANet may do something with fame points in the future.

PawnBoy, that's blatantly wrong. Fame has nothing to do with your guild. Your guild ranking is what determins your spot on the ladder. And it's earned through winning GvG battles.

Fame is, currently, an individual thing tied to your character and is won through winning in the Tombs. You'll gain increasingly more fame with each successive victory (first 1, then 2, then 4, 8, 16, and so on. It's not strictly a+a=b and it's capped at a certain amount but that's good enough to start with) so if you can hold the hall for a few hours you'll rake in fame hand over fist. You can easily get a couple hundred fame from a decent run, if not more.

For that fame you'll gain ranks They're at set amounts of fame and I'm not exactly sure what they are. Increasing your fame gets you a better "staff" or fame icon, yes, but it also gets you a skill point.
