I would be against this idea. Sure give them money, 
Tourist class anyone? But a new person in the game would have no idea
he should go get stuff and what he should get. More than likely spend
money of some u-beut armour and have nothing left for a weapon!
Better to give then some minimal stuff to play with straight up.

Does the `arch' have to be spefically a player class?
Why not just a generic `player' arch but with different images
for race and classes. That could simplify a lot of things!
