Return of the Assasins? :D

I went to the Zaishen Challenge today, and lo and behold, I found an Elementalist Assasin strolling about. I had a short conversation with the person, then we went to Heroe's Audiance and showed off

Unfortunately, nobody else was interested

I'm pretty sure if you made a character that had a ritualist or assassin secondary, but with a primary profession from the original 6, you can still access the characters, but the ritualist and assassin skills are disabled.

I saw a Mo/Rt in the arena a few weeks ago, so I would assume that's what is happening.

Saw a ele ritualist in RA couple of days back. Only ever seen them as seconds proffesions, and i never saw them using new proffesion skills. I assumed they were either beta testers, or dev staff, tho the bug could be the reason as well.

This is correct. They never were gone. All pvp chars with A or Rit secondaries that were made during PvP preview event can still exist today, altough disabled of Rit and Ass skills.

It isn't a 'return', so that might explain why nobody was interested

If you made an A or Rt primary you can still have the character you just can't play it...it just sits there in your char seclect screen. I'm keeping my Assassin I made.
