I am completely conviced... I am coming to VG!! Been reading various websites and such for the last couple of days, and i really wanna play! NOW, the question is... do i wait for the free trial later on this summer or jump head long now?
I just quit EQ2 (financial reasons)... buuuut... i think i can swing it. Is there a free month? Also, when i do get it downloaded and patched up... what should i roll... a little about me... I have (from Wow-i know i know :P) 2 70 Shaman, 2 70 warriors, a 70 rogue... and other assorted toons any hints as to what i might like?
I am VERY interested in the necro, shaman, or dreadknight (that what thats called?)

If you are having trouble with $15 a month for subscription fee, then I'd say you need to put games on the backburner and get your finiancial situation on track.
But of course you wont listen to that, so yeah, the game can be found for $4 or so on Ebay usually, 30 days of play time is included, and make sure to budget for cigarettes and beer...
As far as classes go, I have no idea what you will like. I played a Shadowpriest and a Hunter in WoW, and I really enjoy the Sorcerer class in VG. Just play a class up to lvl 6 or something, and see if you like it. |

Went thru quite a few alts myself until I found what is fun and exciting. Paladin for me. |

When i leveled my most recent toon to 50, tanks were by far the 'in demand' archetype through the levels. It might be a different situation when it comes to raiding, but for 1-50 I think you'll find it easy to get groups as a DK.
All 3 classes you mentioned are very good solo'ers too, if you enjoy that style of play.

as far as tanks go Paladin = 1h+Shield Dread Knights = 2hd specialty Warrior= dual wield speciality
Shaman, Sorcerer have class revamps coming up, so if these interest you Id wait until AFTER the revamps.

That may be (possibly could be dunno) similar to your experience on the shaman. I got bored pretty quickly playing a DK, but whatever floats your boat. I haven't tried the rogue yet. Maybe I should do that. oh hai this is not a sig |

i have spent a little time reading on the druid and i definately wanna give that one a try as well... i'm much a fan of "magical melee-ers" lol

As Zsari has said, I do not melee while on my druid. I only do that when I'm feeling cocky because the mob has a sliver of life left and couldn't possibly take me out. However, some of our weapons have a small ranged attack on them in the form of a wand-like attack. You do have to click the hot key each time that you want to "shoot", but it certainly adds to the DPS if you're desperate. IIRC, the weapon that I have now hits for somewhere in the 80's. oh hai this is not a sig |

Melanie If you are an alt-aholic, VG is perfect for you ! I myself have never been one, but in Vanguard i can't stop making alts !
There are two reasons for this: 1. Content - The amount of content from level 10-40 is impossible to describe in words. For example, 20-30 there are no less than 4 areas i can quest to get very good rewards, and several dungeons as well. In fact from 10-20 there are probably 10-15 dungeon areas you can explore and quest in. Its just incredible how much content there is in Vanguard, more than any MMO i have played eq2 / wow / swg / lotro / aoc. 2. Classes - Phenomenal I play Bard / Bloodmage / Disciple ( so far ) and there are many more i wish to try out, great thing is you can make an alt and not only see a new class but see new parts of the world as well....
I am on Seradon ( allegria / Mirela / Josephine ) look me up !

I guess i looked t it incorrectly, or i've been reading so much that classes are starting to mix togeather in my mind LOL
Allegria, i will do just that... try a bunch, AND i will look you up :)

I just made a new character on Seradon. Running around as a lvl 6 Cleric called Oswer Reva, haven't met anyone yet. Thought I'd start off fresh from a few months back and see the changes for myself too.

Maybe I should do that. My main toon is a rogue and to get the full rogue package you must group. I have soloed this rogue to level 26 and there are a lot of things that I have missed along the way because I could not group. I was able to finally go on a group last week and I had fun backstabbing and picking pockets. I have also tried a dread knight and they are kind of boring but try eache one.

If you want to heal and melee, difinetly give the Disciple a try. Probably the single coolest class I've played in an MMO.
