There are plenty of lvl 20+ players now so does anyone know a site that has actual useful information about what it is to be so and so class? Telling me a shadow knight is a evil crusader who breeds fear and pain yadda yadda yadda doesn't explain crap about what it is to play a shadow knight.
SOE said before EQ2 came out that by the time you got to the point where you'd make any decisions you'd already know what you were getting into. Well, big surprise: THEY LIED.
Talking an NPC into giving some sorceress some ink for cheap does not inform me on what it is to be an enchanter. Neither does running from tavern to tavern kicking bartenders in the nuts tell me what it is like to be a brawler.
Even from lvl 3 you really don't know what you're getting into with either fighter, scout, mage, or preist until you actually play them. But you can easily ditch any IoR character because that's not much time put in...
I'm forced to pick a class at 10 and 20 that I know nothing about. But unlike EQL, I have to work up to the point where I can pick a class. That means, if I was to become a ranger and hate it, I just wasted 20+ lvls. With the enability to start a new job over with the same character you waste crafting skill lvls, all the money you've earned(Not a complete waste IF you make the new guy on the same server and same allegiance), all the quests, rare lore drops, etc.

So you don't know what you want to be at level 10. Would it work out better for you at the initial character creation screen? What exactly would make you happy?
Sure in EQ1 you could start right out as a class, but it wasn't until around lvl 20 that it made any bit of a difference what specific type you were. That is what I think they are going for here.
When they say that you will know what you are getting in to, I believe they mean - "you will understand your role so far, now what direction do you want to concentrate on from here?"
I actually like the idea of permanent choices. Sure some people might mess up, but you know what, everyone makes mistakes at some point in their life. Nobody says 'I wanna be a janitor when I grow up'. So you wont be a janitor in EQ2, but you might make a wrong selection somewhere along the line. Too bad, you can learn to deal with it - none of the choices will cripple your character, you'll just have to learn to adapt to your choices.

I don't know how a crusader or monk plays. I assume there is something about a monk that makes him different than a warrior beside weapon choice. I *ASSUME* warrior is just more of the same old fighter gameplay?? Maybe they are different than the same old fighter type gameplay. I don't know, but I'm still forced to blindly pick something that could turn out to be a choice that negates all the money I've made, quests I've done, fishing/mining,logging skill, etc etc. There is no way to know what I want to be because, for instance, I don't know what an warden or fury *DOES*. I just have a vague description that sounds more like a roleplaying tip.
I just want to know what I'm getting into prior to wasting all the time on quests and whatnot.

What direction? They give you no compass. As I do not know what crusader does or what a monk does or rather a warrior is just a fancy word for fighter or not. I don't know. I'm flying blind. I if I take the wrong turn and hit a wall I gotta start from stratch. A man can only tolerate the IoR for so long:)
What I'm asking is rather or not anyone knows of a site that has useful information concerning the classes that will tell me what they do so that the wasting of time can be minimized. I don't want to discuss rather or not SOE should change anything or anything like that. I just want info if it's out there.
I had to face that decision today. I hope being a Guardian and looking badass is just as cool as being a SK with a horse and spells;)
