Pretty sweet RPG so far, only a couple of hours in. Haven't quite seen why so many people have been fapping like porn monkeys over it yet but have been told by plenty you are no-where near scratching the surface of it yet (which I can believe by the sheer size of it so far).
Chose to be a Dwarf in the end, a Warrior Dwraf with possibly the ugliest face ever. Kicks ass in battle, spent ages at the opening of Dragonmaw fighting the wolves and troggs to level up a bit. One thing that is decent is that everyone who I have come across so far has been pretty helpful and not even slightly c*ck faced.
Interface is sweet, the layout was easy enough to get to grips with after the initial "this is just one area, wtf?!". The environments make Lisa Riley's mu*f saddle looking like a toddler's paddling pool.
Controls are easy, the magic areas aren't even slightly geeky from what I have come across so far, just drag it onto the bar and click it when you need it. Haven't really bought much yet but that too seems simple enough to use and from what I gather it nails other MMORPG's for its less geeky approach. For a first time MMORPG'er' I have founs it fack easy to get into and nothing like what I expected (only in a good way though).
Visually it is sweet, the soundtrack is awesome, the presentation is spot on etc etc *fap fap*
Wish I didn't have work tomorrow but life's a b*tch!
The quest to get Aquatic is a pain in the ass though.
Thankfully the gold I transferred over to my latest character has given me a massive advantage, no searching for 3 copper in order to buy some new leather thermals :D
Aquatic should be excellent though, combat supposedly isn't all that but some of the underwater quests became a total sperm on the ass when you had to keep coming back to the surface to nab some air.
Level 16 - Aquatic Form - quicker underwater speed and no breath limit
Level 20 - Cat Form - The sweet rogue-style babeh
Level 30 - Travel Form - Cheetah for quicker land movement
Level 40 - Dire Bear Form - upgrade due to Bear form sucking at this level
It was hilarious last night, 4 level ?? came over to Shadowglen to camp around the spawn area of new players. It was clear some had never played the game before as they just launched into an attack on them, they just stood there laughing, was absolutely hilarious seeing 4-5 level 1 players talking about "If we group up we can take them", hahahahaha, legendary.
Currently half way between level 11 and 12 as a Druid and I must say, really enjoying the Druid as a character, really versatile with their attacks, both ranged and close up they are really useful and the healing magic is a god send. Anyone know when you get to Shapeform into a Cheetah? Can't wait to be able to move from one area to another without taking a crazy long time. I take it the Cat moves slightly quicker but it's the Cheetah I am more interested in.

Bwhahahahahaha. I wouldn't wear one, but that's a pretty cool T. Meaningless to the general public, speaks volumes if you're in the know.

Mass raid:
PW: Shield, run in the middle of them, psychic scream.
Focus fire one at a time.
Of course it doesn't work on Forsaken :)
Got a cool new sword though but still... just ask Grix.
Middle of a pvp battle it's deadly.
Shame they're nothing like as powerful as in WCIII.
