Well, since we're all just sitting here...

What class are you planning to play? Are you going to make alts at the beginning, or just focus on one main only? Planning to tradeskill at all?

I have been waffling between playing a swash, a dirge, or an assassin. I definitely want my main to be a scout, but it's hard to decide which one and what I want to focus on! This is my chance to kind of get back into the game again and really quest and group, so I want to make the right choice. I've actually never played a swash before, but I did play a raid brig for years and loved her so much.

And I'll be making alts, because I am an altoholic. Will be tough to level very many with such tough xp gain, but I want to craft as much as I can, because I enjoy it so much. So... hopefully we will get in today and get started.

Playing a druid, because the portals are so useful. Definitely will be tradeskilling. No plans for alts at present.

Zerker. Maybe a Mystic again. Conji sounds fun also.

I will be a guardian unless a friend decides to play and play a tank. Then I will go defiler. I am not planning on creating any alts.

dwarf for stats
fury for heals and ports
sage for spells

My hubby is going to play a Mystic, I think. He's fine with servers not being up yet because he's still at work. Hopefully they will be up by the time he gets home.

I didn't think about the portals and how needed that will be again!

Playing a defiler. Defilers are the best healers right?

I think I'll be playing an SK. Same thing as EQ1 TLP.

I'm deciding between a ranger or a troubadour. I currently have a ranger made at character creation so its looking like 99% ranger.

Just for fun, this is from an old thread, classes by popularity

Well, from the looks of your poll so far, we are going to need more tanks... haha. Just a small sampling, but very heavy healer and scout.

I will level to lvl 2 or 3, then leave newb island and get harvesting collection quest, grab a lot of supplies then do the crafting quests and work up to crafting lvl 10... build all my armor and upgrade most my spells then work adv level to about 7... not sure what I will do with my second hour

I hope you mean city newbie harvesting as that pesky qho augren wont be around!
And I am gonna stick with Gnome Brigand (jeweler) as played that on beta and did fine. Will be nice for class diversity among the sk, necro and beastlords

I was thinking Brigand, too, but my hubby is determined to go Mystic and I want to start on the same side as him, so I thought hmm, maybe swash, though I haven't played one before. But also maybe Assassin. Guess I still have some time to decide.

So are all the servers down?

I can log into MajDul server.

Shadow Knight and Channeler for me I am thinking.

Iksar Necromancer, there is no other race/class for me.

I almost always roll a mystic, but decided to go warden this time around because ports are so blinking useful on TLE.
