Rawl, I suggest you start many characters and take them through the first levels (tutorial)...they should be level 5 or 6 if you do all the quests involved with NPCs standing atround with Rings over their heads. The place will be a mad house for a few days.
Made my character on Landroval. The only concern I have is the beta when I log on says I only have 14 days of play left. If that's the case, I probably wont be playing long.
But at least I made it to level four (like that isn't difficult).
Tarrax, it will be great to play with you again!!
