  ===== General approach: =====
  The first question is, what is balance and why is it important?
  
-   balance is important because enables people to focus on being different and then allows them to work together to achieve more than they could on their own. Crossfire has always wanted to be an **MMO** rpg, the MMO infront of the RPG. To properly role play one needs a role, and a role by definition is a division. We can't all be the paladin, but, it isn't fun if the only player that gets to have any impact on the game is the paladin. Therefore we need to promote difference but not at the cost of power. This is balance.

  It can be argued that most of crossfire is designed largely around solo play. This is probably because most development (map, arcs, new skills) has occurred by individuals. There has also been an attitude in the past that all characters should be able to complete content on their own. I think we should be aiming to build a multiplayer experience first and singleplayer experience second. my ideas are largely structured around this definition of balance and this assumption that crossfire is a multiplayer focused game. To deliver balance I believe we should break the problem down into 3 stages.
  
  Stage 1: agree on how characters should be diverse, see [[#character selection]]
