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!
A hood!
I look like a flavoured condom now.
I hate my hat. I don't want to wear it but it's useful for stats. All my hair has to be tied up in it :(
That's just not rock

Can't wait for battleground either, they're also going to make things like Graveyards and mines in contested areas attackable, both sides will be able to capture these and control them until the other side decides to retalliate. So I've heard anyway, could be wrong on that one (I may have got mixed up with Battlegrounds, but it'd be great if true).
Gurubashi Arena will be interesting though, seeing so many Horde and Alliance fighting each other for the contents of one chest, I expect huge battles will take place around there when it's introduced.
Have any of you ever met a Shaman the same level or a level below that has not run or waited till you have started fighting before they fight you? Straaaaaange class.

If you mean Druids then i doubt anything can top a Rogue for short range combat - but the Druid can use plenty of long-range spells which makes them real good for long range encounters. Further more, you can almost kill somebody with bolts, and then finish them off in the Bear or Cat mode. They also have a nice spell which tangles the enemy up in roots for a ten seconds which allows you to make an escape, or just buy yourself some more time. I don't think I've come across a deeper class.
The Cat mode is almost a Rogue, The Bear mode is almost a Warrior, Then you have heals and long-ranged spells which makes them so damn appealing.
