I made my character on the Valdes server. Two reasons - primarily because my friend already had characters on that one, and secondly, because he had told me that this was the more populated server of them all.

I'd agree its not a horror MMO, and I also agree that buying a mount is desirable (you can even buy one at level 1 apparently) but I dont feel the need to pump money into the game atm as Im liking it as it is. I think - not certain - that you have transport as part of the game like in WoW with ships and griffons.

I also went for a "human like"warrior class as I had been told that these stand up much better than the casters against opponents, but Im eager to try out the others.

My character is Morgainne.
