Except I'm serious. I've been off on medical leave waiting for surgery or something to improve.

I hope you get better, but at least you will have something to occupy your time.

I second the "All Day Long". Should we have a count down to when the beta starts back up? Anyone know the time exactly... I'm to tired to go back a page and look

all previous events have started/ended at 10am pacific (gmt -8).

It is 10 am PST

Is there a specific server GWJ is using? I skimmed the thread but didn't see one.

Shatterbone, I think?

Correct.

I caved and just pre-ordered, so I am officially in. I think i'm going to focus on a tank and pick up armor crafting, mining and skinning as my professions.

Make sure folks jump on Vent so we can get you into the guild. We had an awesome "tour" of the countryside last night to close the evening for most of us.

I will also be a tank -- more than likely.

Hard to say with any absolute certainty. I do really enjoy my rogue, and the flexibility for questing and being able to tank most stuff, then run to a quest and go pet-tank and ranged, and then having to go tag something in a pit of elites and popping over to stealth to achieve that objective - it all just clicks. Excellent for solo leveling - hands down.

But, I like being a tank end-game, (or I did in EQ, WAR, WoW and DAoC anyway) - so I'm sure I probably will here as well.

Are we sure we want defiant? I can't change anyones mind about the guardian side?

I am chomping at the bit for this one to come out already. I know my husband will be playing a mage for certain and I am still on the fence about an offensive warrior or rogue because i love hunters especially in pvp. Will probably wind up leveling both just a matter of which one will be 50 first.
Has anyone seen a list of release server names yet, or have we decided on which server at release?

I may have to play a cleric - just because I don't see many other folks stepping up volunteering ...

Personally, I would prefer guardian side, but only because I like dwarves so much. I like Bahmi as well though, just for different reasons.

I will most likely play a cleric. But if not one my cleric, I will be playing a healing focused bard. My bard may not be able to heal instances, but I will make the main healer's job really easy with keeping everyone topped off and providing more of a cushion should they fat finger or target the wrong group member.

A straight up pure heals cleric will be of great value in instances, but until later end game I don't think that will be a huge issue. Given the mix and match, any flavor cleric can be pure heals by end game.

nm, disregard.

I was originally planning on rogue or mage for release, but there seems to be a glut of those classes and a dearth of healers (on my current server, at least), so I rolled a cleric during the last event and have been having quit a bit of fun playing a healer/tank. Barring unforeseen circumstances I'm leaning towards cleric for release.

Ranger/Bard/Nightblade
Elementalist/Stormcaller/Dominator
Justicar/Druid/Warden

I think my brother is going to buy it and play, and he will roll a healer. I'll try to get him signed up with GWJ so he can get hooked up. He is an EXCELLENT healer in raids in wow, pretty much the only class he has ever played.

I haven't played far into the Defiant side, but I do love the 20-35 levels in the guardian side most especially. The Gloamwood and the Scarlet Gorge are pretty cool areas.

Seconded.

I would vote guardian as well if only because defaint is where the crowds are going to be so queues are going to be way way faster on the guard side.

I've played guardian and I just can't deal with the namby-pampy elf and dwarf crap. It's way too typical fantasy for me. I like the techno style of the defiants.

Robot horse, ftw.

I'm in, pre-orderd on Steam. Another vote here for Defiant, I'm quite partial to dwarves usually but the Guardians are way too self-righteous for me. Leaning towards Bard/Ranger/Nightblade for my main but had a lot of fun over the weekend with Chloromancer/Elementalist/Dominator and Inquisitor/Warden/Purifier as well.

I will go with the masses, but I admit after my time in the beta I prefer the guardian side as well.

Voting for defiant here.
