Hero Classes (Score 1)

Hero Classes are something that were on the slate originally for the release of the game. We all know that they didn't quite make that deadline and have been pushed off to the purgatory that is the "On the Horizon" page of your official site. I was hoping you could toss those of us that are pretty much done with the PvE experience of the game. Perhaps you could tell us if they will be out before the first expansion pack, and if they will be a form of alternate advancement for all, or a hardcore player only feature like the PvP ranks. Hero Classes are the one thing holding a lot of us 60s that have most of the gear we want hanging on and it would be great to hear even just a tidbit about them.
