Most of the characters (at least up to episode 5, since I haven't gone any
further) seem to have _both_ class and subclass:

  * [Akatsuki](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Akatsuki): **Class** \- Assassin; **Subclass** \- Tracker 
  * [Shiroe](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Shiroe): **Class** \- Enchanter; **Subclass** \- Scribe
  * [Nyanta](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Nyanta): **Class** \- Swashbuckler; **Subclass** \- Chef
  * [Serara](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Serara): **Class** \- Druid; **Subclass** \- Maid

However, [Naotsugu](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Naotsugu) (whose Class
is Guardian) appears to not have a Subclass.

From the [Classes](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Classes) and the
[Subclasses page](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Subclasses) on Log Horizon
Wiki, one can tell that once a player starts playing Elder Tale he _has to
choose_ a Class, which cannot be changed again. However, one also gathers that
Subclasses, on the other hand, are changeable, but the site says nothing about
whether or not a player is _required_ to have one.

**Does this mean that Subclasses are not required?  
Or was Naotsugu's class just not yet revealed/unknown?**

question
log-horizon
Aren't players required to choose a subclass?


The wiki page you referenced for Naotsugu has been updated saying that he has
the [Border Patrol](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Border_Patrol) Subclass.

On a side note if Elder Tale is anything like most MMORPGs a subclass is not
chosen until you have gained a couple levels and there is no advantage for not
having one. So it would make sense that most players would pick a subclass to
start leveling it right away.
