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!

No no - We mean the Druid can turn into a Cat which makes him almost identical to a Rogue - all the attack moves, and combo point system. It doesn't make the Druid faster, but the Druid does get a traveling form at level 30, which makes them run real fast.
And Night Elves can only be Druids - Night Elves and those big-bull ones for the other side.
Also I can't remember if the Night Elves have a Druid class and I am sat at work (praying for nothing short of a building collapse just to get the hell out of here). Wanted to stick within the Night Elf group to be honest.
Are you on Dragonmaw/Dunemaul at all? Or did you stick with Bloodhoof?
But then Rogues are ace, there's no denying that - fast attackers, a lot of fun to play. You can't go wrong with either, but as Bullett said, the Druid is a load of classes in one and its a blast to play. Just don't expect the Druids bear from to be as strong as a Warrior, or the cat form to be as strong as the Rogue, however morphing back to a Night Elf and quickly healing yourself before morphing back in to an animal gives you as many lives as mana will allow for. Try it !
But all are interesting.
Also, are Rogues probably the best class?
Just exploring Gnomeregan with a great group, and then we all died and they all left in about 3 seconds. Not sure why, we were cruising for the most part.
