I finally finished the Introduction quest. Does every race do the same one? In the last part of the intro quest I went with Dwalin into this cave and we fought our way to the end where we had a confrontation with some resurrected dwarf king dude. It was cool.

Is this another EQ clone? So far, I see that at least the class names are different. What's the skill tree like?

See, I consider Wow to basically be a somewhat more polished EQ. Classes about the same. Stuff you do about the same. It's just often more user friendly in the way it does it.

As if level 8, there are no choices to be made regarding skill ups. (Other than the initial race/class selection, of course.)
It plays very differently to me than EQ, though. More like City of Heroes. I haven't played WoW, so I can't compare.

Out of curiousity, do you then consider most commercially released MMORPGs since the release of EQ to be clones?

Well, keeping in mind I haven't played anything like all of them, some of them moreso than others, but a lot of them seem to like to follow the EQ formula of class tree and quests.
I'm not saying WoW is a carbon copy by any means, but there's nothing in it that wasn't in EQ, and the classes are very similiar to EQ's. It's just they've polished EQ and made it into more of a fast FPS. I do think the writing is ten times better, though.
Sure, EQ wasn't by any stretch of the imagination original. I think we might've had this conversation before, where I called most mmorpgs glorified diku muds and you scoffed at that idea. I still basically think the same thing.

I think you're right about us having the conversation before. I think our definitions of "different," uh, differ.

On a complete tangent, I am really digging City of Heroes right now. I'm having a blast playing my cyborg Mastermind from a war-torn future, Colonel Korloff!

If you have reached level 10 you should go look for the scrying pool in Breetown. You get to play as a monster which is pretty fun and a little different. You start as a level 50 monster and you get to attack the free people.

does anyone find it hard to control the character?
He sometimes turns to far when I try to turn him...and won't face the same way. I wish you could just click where you want to go like games like Diablo.
I've got a burgler named Athalus and a champion named Gladior

My champion is level 5. I still have the very least intro quest do do. I teamed up with a guardian to do the rest of the intro quests. Things are much easier/more fun with a fellowship.
so do any of you think you might preorder? I'm really thinking about it.

I'm enjoying it so far, though things seem too easy with a fellowship. Of course, I'm a lone wolf by nature, so I only go the fellowship route when absolutely necessary--like for Jasper Mudbottom.
Of course, after spending an hour getting lost in the Old Forest looking for wolves and instead getting stomped by giant Angry Oak trees, it would've been nice to take one of those sunlight-eating, bark covered buttholes down.
Anyone know where the Barrow Downs are, or the Sunken Stones area of the marsh?
