Ok...been playing an undead priest and I love it. Still not sure about the long term playability but will most likely buy it when it's released.

i do enjoy the game...yes i am one of the millions that play a warlock
Mainly because I have always enjoyed the pet class.
Good game quests are decent and the way they did death enjoyable. the choice to either take a xp hit or a run back to get your body.

One of the millions that play a warlock? You're being sarcastic right.

You haven't been on the Stress Test Servers, have you? You can't walk 2 inches without a blue pet in your face. (slight exaggeration, but not by much)

Last statistic I saw, Warlocks were like 5% behind the next least played class. As far as beta/pvp goes they're the least played.

i got in thursday afternoon, didn't get it installed until friday evening
logged about 13-14 hours between first login and today when they shut off the stress-testers
started as a troll hunter, got him to 5, then started an undead warlock (HORDE 4EVA) and when i got booted today he was 13
what i liked about this game was all the little things. things like no zoning, quest log, radar on the UI, how they handled death, and QUESTS. goddamn there were so many quests! they're well written too-- and the best part about the whole thing is that you're so busy doing quests you don't really notice that you are making great exp as you do it. in eq, the two were pretty separated: you could spend a weekend questing, or you could spend a weekend grinding. in wow it's all rolled into one.
the graphics blew me away too. i never looked at any of the screenshots on the website because i wasn't planning on playing, so when i first rolled up that troll and popped into the little starter valley i spent the first 10 minutes just looking around. same when i made the warlock. i spent several hours just wandering around filling out my map, then i visited the undercity (which was awesome because it was built under the ruins of lordaeron) and then took a zeppelin over to orgrimmar and said what's up to thrall (thrall!).
very smooth, very enjoyable, and absolutely gorgeous. it's everything EQ should have been.
if i can budget in the monthly fee i might just open up my scarred evercrack veins to shoot up WoW.
PS i was running the game at full video detail and highest resolution and it ran just fine-- geforce 5700ultra, 512mb pc3200 ddr ram, duron 1ghz cpu

Didn't get in, but I can't wait to pony up for retail release.
This most recent EQ fix is beginning to wear off again. Did manage to finish Greenmist though (Thank you, Cocodrilo).
Good thing Fable, Prime2, and KoTOR2 are all right around the corner to help tide me over until then.

I got in and played up til they shut it down. I will say that the graphics, NPC interaction, quest, and pretty much anything else was awesome. When it died I was playing a 24 Orc Hunter and was kicking Allinance asses. I will definatley own it when it goes retail.

Spent the last day making new characters and checking out different lands. Would up with:
Tauran Warrior 7
NE Druid 8
Human Paladin 6
Gnome Rogue 5
Undead Priest 16
Priest was by far my favorite, tho I was having a little trouble (once I started grouping) keeping people healed fast enough. That was most likely user error tho.
I do like that you DON'T lose the targetted mob when you heal someone. That is fantastic.

i have the feeling after messing with it of the BTDT's. Dont know if I would pick it up. Too many fucking kids for my taste. Yesterday the kids came out to play. I had started a Priest Human to see the class playability and questing in alliance. Was a whole lot of KSing and then to make matters worse we had a level 25 Undead Rogue KSing every quest mob in the noob zones. would run in front of you during battles KS you then do this faggot dance. Then when you tried to move he would follow you pulling the same shit.
And yes I know his level and age. grouped with him with my 18th Warlock. I kicked him from group after he ran on ahead 3 times and died. calling us pussys for not rushing in. He did not understand the concept of just pulling a few mobs at a time.
Like I said alot of kids. the Dood speak was at a all time high and the begging started early. Undercity became the beggars choice on hoarde side. All we needed was Lucan and it would have Freeport Pre Luclin.

Beta is nothing like that, but I guess stress is how the release will be. If you play horde non-pvp I think you have the least amount of no-talent kids playing.

Beta is exactly like that. There are more 18-24 Mental Retards than a Special Olympics.
WOW is a decent game, but the community will be comprised of Bnet social rejects, MMO addicts with the popularity of herpes, and the ubergamer wannabe dorks who see their sole bastion of success at 'winning' a social game.
I fear for the endgame since these mongoloid fucks are the ones with the primary influence.
The good thing is this should suck up all the refuse, freeing other games from them.

Silv, I played hard on beta and PVP with a ton of different groups.
I know you and Taxx do your own thing, but go join a few groups or sit and listen to the conversations in the cities. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about

How is that any different then EQ?

While EQ had its share of these, early EQ was not d00deriffic. That came later. Most of the d00ds were in UO early on, and came to EQ slowly.
EQ also never had the Bnet kids.
