I've talked about why I am against point classes here. http://www.empirewar.org/forums/m/5312442/viewthread/30058410-unavailable-classes/post/129507774#post_129507774
The majority of the people will want to add them, but that's because they are all already long time players. Point classes for them would just mean free classes, or easy to gain classes. The difficulty for new players facing these classes isn't taken into account on polls like this. Not to mention how we can barely come up with original mechanics for the donator classes, let alone have 2 more per map for point classes.

Maybe add that donors that donated X money can free use class that cost X points

Ahm ahm f2p games
F2P games earn much less money. For a server of our size (not massive), it just wouldn't be enough.
It is vital people have something they can gain in game, that they can then spend in game. IMO one normal/voter class can be made point per map.
People really do need something to reward them for playing, and it doesn't have to be classes, but it has to be something other than a place on the leaderboards.

Then we have to come up with something other than classes and leaderboards, but preferably without points. Maybe achievements and secrets.
last time i suggested achievements it was too hard to code and secrets are from conwy so how about we stick with points because every player wants it, please!
Conwy is dead, and secrets were a huge success on AOW. Achievements used to be very bad for our memory, but I've found a way around this long ago.

Something you can earn is the important part. Your objection is to the OP things points can be spent on, not points themselves. I reiterate, players must have a system whereby if they put more time into it, they get something which they can actually spend on something.
I'm sure there are more possibilities than just point CLASSES which Tim only mentions. Read back custom heads, read custom shields, perks like: flamethrower, more arrows, unbreaking weapons. And if people wanted point classes, make up some classes which aren't too OP and fun to use. Ran out for Ideas? Ask for them on the Forums. I'm sure there are plenty of solutions for adding back points
PS. Tim, ur achivement idea is a great idea combined with points you gain from achiving achivements

Perhaps give new players the option to play with point class for free for a while (after they reach 100 kills they have to buy it, after 10 hours/100 deaths they have to buy it, ect')
PS in this way they could also decide more easily which class to buy.

(how new player's brain works) When new player see that someone is playing class and he easly kill him he thinks: (that class is OP i want it) , so he ask: What kit is that???? Someone is answering him: That is a point class . (he thinks hard). then he ask : How do you earn points? and again someone answer : Just kill others and cap flags.
( again he thinks hard) and ask: So , when i will get enough points i will be able to buy this class?? ( he is exating)
and aigen someone answer : Yes . ( YEA I HAVE TO PLAY NOW AND I WILL GET THIS OP CLASS !
) succes !!! we got a new player *claps* claps* claps* ez
( again he thinks hard) and ask: So , when i will get enough points i will be able to buy this class?? ( he is exating)
and aigen someone answer : Yes . ( YEA I HAVE TO PLAY NOW AND I WILL GET THIS OP CLASS !

exactly, this is what hooked me on EW v1. then guess what after a year I had every point class and had donated and suggested things, basically helping the community in some ways.(how new player's brain works) When new player see that someone is playing class and he easly kill him he thinks: (that class is OP i want it) , so he ask: What kit is that????

Much agreement. People don't just play 'for the reward of playing', they want something to work hard for, then they want to do well because of it.
