Question for ya'll who play WoW:Follow

So, I take it I'm going to be on Shadow Council? Are you guys Horde or Alliance? =P

Cheers. One more question, for a new player what's a relatively easy race/class combo on Alliance-side? I've had to hear my friend R.J. ******** for a year about how gimp Paladins are so I already know to avoid them.

Edit: I should clarify, R.J. is a level 60 Paladin who's been ******** for a year about how gimp it is. So, I dunno if that's a sign that he's full of it or what, but I think it's safe to say regardless that I won't be a Paladin.

From what people have told me Paladins are not gimp. Play whatever you like. The learning curve is relatively simple across the board.

I'm actually leaning toward priest, but... do priests serve any purpose besides healing? I've had enough of being a heal-bot in FFXI and City of Heroes, I wouldn't mind healing again as long as that's not the only reason you people want me. =P

Well, I may as well start as a priest. I've started as a healer in every MMO I've ever played, no reason to break from tradition. If I hate it, I can always find something else. Now I'm just spinning my wheels and waiting for it to ask for disc 5. >_<

What do I have to do to get invited to Lunatics? I did a /who Lunatics, but it said nobody was online (this was way late last night though).

It'll be Saboruto, but I haven't settled on a race/class yet. I'm flirting with priest or rogue at this point. You'll see me, either way.

Rogue is fun too. Any class really Sabo, you can roll 5 alts and try each job.

Analthief wants everyone to know that Whiske and Celcio are the greatest players he's ever grouped with. True story.

WoW is a bit iffy to me. I was thinking about getting it because my girlfriend did ,was gonna play with her on it. But... She's telling me that the game is very one-sided. Basically that Horde OWNS Alliance in most-if-not-all ways. Like they get better skills and ****, I don't know. Sounds dumb to me. I don't want to be some Orc just so I can have cooler skills, thanks.

From the looks of it, WoW looked pretty grungy. I dunno, just didn't look too great. I like the clean look of FF11, but I hear it's going the tubes. Oh well, I'm slow. I'll still get FF11, by the time I quit playing it, there'll be other MMORPG's out there. Woooo~

P.S: Healing classes unite!

EDIT:

I notice how none of you mentioned EverQuest II. Does that game suck THAT bad?

Edit EDIT:

I looked into Vanguard and saw some screenshots of it. The scenery looks ******* awesome, but the characters seem a bit iffy. Hmm, interesting though.

Whoever told you that paladins were gimp has probably never played one. If they have played one, and still tell you that pallies are gimp, they didn't play it well.

Basically, a paladin is a pretty useful tank with good spell combos for agro, and great combat healing (with the right talents). They won't put out as much DPS as a warrior, but the inclusion of auras and blessings (buffs), as well as a few other nifty spells (seals and judgement), makes them pretty well rounded characters, and moderately good soloers.
