I've played a rather large quantity of different pen-and-paper RPGs. A lot of them were level-based.
The fun with the Conan multiclassing system is that there's no real drawback to multiclassing. And since I don't play with prestige classes, there's no reason to multiclass just for the goal of having that specific prestige class.
Single-class characters are, logically more effective in the class they are in. However, a lot of the characters I've seen in Conan (whether movies, books, comic books, RPGs and spinoffs) are journeymen. Wanderers that pick up a bit of everything. I like that some of my players are multi-classes, and I like that one of them is single-classed. It shows the variety and flexibility of the game.
Usually people multi-class for munchkinism. My players multi-class 'cause it's logical. THAT, in itself, is awesome.
And... Though I am a true fan of the pike-and-shield combat idea, it helps to have backup just in case.
