I don't have an account yet - was thinking about purchasing, but I'd like to test out the game first.

I guess there are only 4 classes? Any class sounds interesting to me .... hopefully with 4 classes they can make them a little more interesting than the 1234 that is world of warcraft

Leaning towards cleric - I typically play the "underplayed" classes. Any info helpful

Each class has 9 souls (soul is a talent tree).
When picking talents , you slowly unlock new ability's trough that tree's root.
you can pick 3 souls at a time , so theirs like 100 different possible combinations every time.

cleric is a good choice
play one myself and its very funny.

is there a generally underplayed class ? or are they all roughly equal?

Rogues are i believe the most overplayed, Followed by Clerics then Mages, Warriors.

People only play clerics and mages because they're the only things that work on the game in PvP.

This statement is false

Mages Re the least plAyed

Although yes at the moment they are great in pvp not op just great they still get what on by warriors

Here's the order from most played to least
Rogues-warriors-clerics-mages

anyone have an active account I can test drive?

pmed info like 3 days left on acct i think, got a few toons on there not sure if i deleted any or not

well on my server i see more warriors then rogues. from what ive seen at 50 id say warriors > rogues > mages > clerics, with warriors and rogues being pretty close or even equal.
