So far?

Human ranger

Norn mesmer

Charr elementalist

Asura guardian

Sylvari thief or engineer (Depending which interests me the most when the time comes around)

For my starter 5 slots on the first day.

Then, a visit to the cash shop for more character slots and the other 3 classes.

Then I just cross my fingers and pray they do birthday presents. x9

im gonna go go guardian for sure. After that either engineer or maybe a necromancer.

this is a pvp game, so i expect a legion of theives and rangers. 

i also expect them to fall to my guardian  mad skillz!

Elementalist/Human

Guardian/Sylvari

Warrior/Asura

Necro/Charr

Necros are awsum. Love that pets. :D

Enginer/Charr

FLAMETHROWER WOOOOOOOO

My first two will be Norn Necro and then Sylvari Ranger.  Not sure what I'll do after that.

Human Thief will be my main, and human Mesmer will be my first alt. 

Sylvari Mesmer

Charr Ranger

Sylvari Elementalist

Asura or Human Theif (depending on how Asura look jumping around haha)

Asura Guardian

Probably wont make a Warrior, Engineer or Necromancer at this point. But I might change my mind.

Human Thief. And if there is too many of those running about then Sylvari Warrior.

1. Asura Guardian

2. Sylvari Thief

3. Charr Warrior

In that order :-D

Warrior charr and asura thief.

A couple months ago, I thought I knew, now I'm not sure. :)

I'm hoping to figure it out during the beta weekends. I'll probably start with an Engineer to see if I can stand having guns as my weapons. I also like the complexity of Elementalist and the class dynamics for the Necromancer. For style, I like Thief and Ranger. I want to see if a Spirit Weapon based Guardian is viable.  I like the Warrior's walking arsenal of weapon choices and Mesmers might make a Trickster archetype actually work.

::sigh::

Well, at least I can look forward to lots of alts, no matter which one I take to the level cap first.

I'm surprised no one has done this yet:

But srs bsns:
1) Sylvari Female ???
2) Human Male Mesmer
3) Human Male Engineer
4) Human Male Ele

The first three are to match some fan-fic I'm writing, the last is a throwback to my GW1 main.

Edit:
Almost forgot one:
1b) Asura Male Ranger (sword emphasis)

It's a new condition brought to us by GW2 and the press:)

In BWE's I'll be sticking to Human as it is the least interesting race to me and I don't want to spoil story.  Then I'm going to try in this order (could change my mind tomorrow, because like you I've change my mind a lot on this, actually changed my mind typing this):

1.  Guardian

2.  Engineer

3.  Necromancer

4.  Warrior

5.  Thief

6.  Elementalist

7.  Ranger

8.  Mesmer

What is your profession?

HA-OOH HA-OOH HA-OOH!

Warrior, Necromancer, Engineer, Elementalist, Guardian...In no particular order.

• Warrior: loads of weapons, lots of different build options.  Warriors are pretty much the iconic master of combat, easy to play, hard to master.
• Necromancer: My favorite class in GW1 and GW2.  It is very fun to go around in cloth armor and take more hits than nearly anything else (with lots of life steal, life force, and meat shields)
• Engineer: I can't wait to try out some trait builds I have been thinking up for engineers.  I particularly like the explosive trait line.
• Guardian: Wammo...GW2 version.  What's not to like.

Why not mesmer, ranger or thief?

• Mesmer: I think they rock, but I could never get into the playstyle of the GW1 mesmer.
• Ranger: I tried it out at PAX Prime 2010 (a LOT of things have changed since then) and I really didn't feel like the pet added that much to my experience while running around.  I will probably look into them post release.
• Thief: I lied...I am totally buying character slots to play a thief.  They look very fun to play.

As an altoholic i will play in this order :

Asura Elementalist

Human Necromancer

Norn Guardian

Silvari Mesmer

CHarr Warrior

And then i still might want to try the engineer and maybe the rogue.

Going for Charr Necromancer in the open beta....

Prolly gonna play a Human Guardian or a Human Ranger in the beta because I am saving the Norn zones for release.  Plus I will not play a Thief, Mesmer or Warrior during beta because Im still figuring out which of those 3 I will play at release.

16% thief and 16% necro at the top of the poll

Lol, blame it on totalbiscuit and yogscast

If I decide to play it, I'm going to go with engineer.  I've always loved engineer gameplay in other games, particularly when turrets were part of it.
