To join a class, you must first pass a simple class quest from that class's trainer. Seek out the Guild of Vocation in New Karth, this building has lots of class information and will even allow you to travel to any class trainer. Only basic information is listed here, click on a class for full details. Once you have completed a class quest you unlock that class permanently and you can go on to unlock more.

Once you have more than one class you can switch between them using /hero choose <class name>
