Both the AFK system (didn't know it existed) as well as losing skill points upon class change make perfect sense.

Terraria is easy. With nTerraria it's even easier. The longer you can stretch it by adding challenges -- the more fun it will be in the long run in my opinion.

You lose only your CLASS level + points upon class change - your character level (thus the strength of the character) stays the same.

With the new class being Lv1 --- you will level immensely fast if you made a lot of progress in the game prior to changing classes.
