Did a teenie bit of research and found this:

Will help avoid an unofficial Italian server for example.
Desolation looks like quite a good bet based on this (albeit possibly not very accurate) information. But a population of 'Northern' Europeans seems like a good one to me.

Had a bit more of aplay about last night, trying to decide if Talifer needs to build me a new computer before release date.

So far my favorite order is:
sylvari elementalist,
human ranger,
human guardian,
asura thief,
i need a bit more time to work out which is best - for example I took the elementalist pvping last night but havent found a staff yet so its difficult to gauge how they work at maximun range etc

I think if you go to the Halls of Mist (from Hero screen) you get a buffed up weapon set etc to allow you to use all the skills - I didn't get as far as trying it out properly though as I got a bit confused by all the tutorials on the way and the difference between free and paid for arena battles. Hoping for a decent manual toappear on-line somewhere soon!Yrrab wrote:So far my favorite order is:

Was just going to say maybe Ring of Fire wasn't the best option due to this list seems the declared guilds are all Russian/Eastern European, not that I have anything against them.
Pretty sure there will be problems with population to start anyways.
See you all after the headstart has finished as we will not be around for the very beggining anyway. Character wise I would have liked to make a siege character but as all characters have siege capability I think I might break the habit of a lifetime and roll a ........................... hmmm Warrior (at least for duo play with the missus and maybe a ranger for solo).

I used the staff in the practice area and it was neat but as soonas I found any live action I was back to my normal eqipped items so its was difficult to know how good it would be in live action. It will all work its way throough I guess.
I am quite taken by the elementalist though

Ok I'm purchased and downloaded ready for head start but haven't had a chance to play due to moving house 3 weeks ago and having no internet.
Based on reading up atm I'm thinking a Human Guardian as my main going with my usual archetype of healer/hybrid(probably a "gimped" spec to go with my usual jack of all trades playstyle.
Also liking the look of a Norn ranger though - thinking of a sort of "hunter" type vibe based on their lore
I think the wildcard could be the Engineer class - I really like the look of it and think it could maybe duo with Yrrab's Ranger well and be pretty good/annoying in PvP if you can work it out but it looks the most bugged class atm from what I can tell. Thinking of an Asura and going with the House of Invention or whatever it was called.

Still haven't managed to get any sense out of Talifer (nothing new there though!) but in particular about his class choice. Doesn't look like it matters too much though.
I tried the Asura in the last stress test but I found the starting area irritating - too much like WoW's gnomes for my liking so will probably be avoiding that race at least. And I cant abide ugly characters so that rules out the Charrs![:)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

That's why I went Shaman in WAR, people don't play such classes because solo is crap but when it gets to raids they are a must so easy to get into groups.
I'm looking at the Engineer for this reason, though I've not actually looked at any game info so I don't really know what any class does
![;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
talifer .. you should be looking at engineer or mesmer then there the main classes with a lot of group utility .. provided you spec for that of course .. in world pvp and pve there group utility is pretty huge
egor there is no actual holy trinity in this game .. healer ,tank ,Dps
there pretty much all hybrid classes .. just play what seems fun . if you dont like it change the spec or try another class ..

Got to try the stress test for about 2 hours and rolled a human guardian - quite liked it but was finding having no range a problem when trying to compete for quests and events etc. Doing some research online I think I'm going to roll a rifle wielding warrior as my main come launch - I think it looks pretty fun, can output a lot of damage, and has quite good survivability with heavy armour and extra hp compared to a ranger. We shall see.
Looking forward to seeing you all in game and getting some of the old gang together!
Any thoughts on a guild name!?

if i remeber right egor the rifle has a signifantly smaller range than a long bow . so your dam output compared to a ranger will be bad at range .. however as you said a rifle totting guardian gives you range to pull were you can swap to mele then beat mobs down
i wouldnt spec for the rifle myself and just use it to pull .but that said its certainly an interesting idea .. a typical HG gimped spec
kinda like specing a mesmer to duel weild daggers ... hmmm thats an intersting one ..<buggers off to do some research>

Managed to make a guild in the brief test last night, occurred to me we need a guild name and a 'tag', since the tag is what everyone sees almost as important to choose that as the name itself.
I started Fates Chosen, but didn't like the FC tag - that will always be First Cohort in my head.
Since you can be a member of multiple guilds, I'll probably start something with Talifer on the first day, which can either take everyone or we can join one you guys make as well.
Edit: Looking back at the old DaoC Alliance boards we could go for Knights of Humberton with KoH?
