I play on the Wiccana server, the unofficial RP-PvE server. I now have a Priest of Mitra that is level 65. I don't really think you get a feel for the classes until well into the teens and beyond when you've had a chance to spend some feat points, which you don't start earning until level 10. If you have the time, patience, and inclination you should try it a bit longer, though the game does lack in a robust crafting system such as can be found in EQ2.

I agree that it is ok to like games of your own fashion, but hopefully something not made by Sony for once :) Casters and healing in this game is done a little different than what you are used to. For example: http://hudshideout.com/blog/?p=2185 Last paragraph. It takes some getting used to as it isnt the neat healing system in most MMO's. Picking a HoX may not be your style but if you like the class that is fine, its just that everyone picks that as a default because they hear it is OP'd and easy. Keep trucking and get to level 20, ignoring general chat and the advice of most non players and you will do ok. However, there is a LOT of questing and fighting, and little fluff that you may be used to in more casual games. Still not a bad diversion for a 7 day trial.

The DX10 client seems to be stable and I really appreciate the new stackable "brass baubles" that replaced the vendor-bait that used to drop off of practically everything. Rather than try to pick up my old Dark Templar or Bear Shaman, I decided to roll a new Demonologist on one of the standard servers. An evening's play has left me a bit short of level 17. I have no idea what the game after Tortage is like these days, but I thought I'd give it a go. At least this time I'm prepared for the sudden loss of voiceovers and cut-scenes and tight storylines.
