I'm going to be playing a shaman because I want to group, not because I want to be able to avoid it. Even if everyone wants to play Necromancers, Magicians, Enchanters, Druids and Shamans I'm sure plenty of them will still be more than happy to group up.

Only many people aren't boxing from what I've seen. Most are not even pre-made groups. The highest levels I've seen were PUGs and mages were highest level in all. I've spoke to some of them directly. The highest level a couple days ago, Harms, a mage, told me his group was a PUG he leveled with.

I'm not really interested in engaging your seemingly strange fixation on getting mages nerfed before launch and letting it take over another thread. Please don't.

People are freaking about solo classes being everywhere. I do think we will see a lot to start out and as things are overcrowded, in the next 2 months things will even out. I know I’ll be playing a monk and either a necro/mage. Everyone knows how important it is to have a solo money making class... especially when there are mana stones and other rubicite around.

I was going to play a shaman, but the total darkness making Barbarians blind turned me off to that, so now I am going necromancer main with druid, so and cleric alts eventually.

I was going to main a shaman but will main a necro now, however I prefer to group. Necros are amazing in groups early on.

As I have already said in the other post I do not believe that the sample examined with this survey is representative of the mass, for various reasons, but I am curious to see how it will change.

Well, being that 663 people voted in the previous poll, and we will probably have around 1200-1500k players on green, it's about 50%, which isn't too bad. But yeah, you are right. I would love to get in the minds of those players that actually just log on and play the game and don't get involved on the forums.

That last statement is probably far more real than we think. I have family that plays and has never logged into the forums.

Hmm. I can't vote because I'll probably decide at the last minute what to actually play. Cleric or enchanter? Hell if I know. I've done both to 60 repeatedly on p99 over the years, love them both, but do have concerns that an enchanter (at least to start out) will not get to play the way I enjoy them because of overcrowding.
