From the looks of it, SoD seems to be the answer i've been waiting for, but im curious as to some major differences that I should be aware of when choosing my class. I was thinking of going along the lines of a DPS class, monk/rogue/wiz, and was wondering if any could maybe give me some input on the effectiveness of these classes as compared to EQ Live (as it was about a year or two ago, havent played recently). I will most likely be playing with a RL friend, maybe two, so a duo/trio will be most likeley. I played a enchanter and cleric both to 65, so im trying to stay away from caster types but soemthing about a wizard just flat out kicking ass always helps, lol. Is quad kiting still a viable means of exp? Any information would be much appreciated, cant wait to see some of you guys in the game. I also will be looking to join a guild, im a hardcore player, with the intent of hitting 65 as quick as possible, but always helps to have a good group of players to enjoy the ride with. Hope to get some responses, thanks in advance guys.

Biggest thing I would recommend would be to come into SoD with an open mind, as many things are custom here.

Bards are alright, if you know how to AoE kite, you'll level quicker than if you grouped. (And die more!)

I LOVE bards, but abandoned mine after hearing that the constant summoning sound at each tick is tied to client, so it can't be fixed.
I like playing with sounds on, so that got really old really fast. It might be that other people have decided to do the same and this lead to a low bard population.
For those who play without sounds but listen to music this shouldn't matter.

I love bards and love playing one, but yeah...that sound drives me up a friggin wall. I've gone so far as to be hesitant to group with them. That sucks.

Please keep the Particle Effects, I love being covered in a blanket of fire with notes spinning around me.

Those damn things give me a headache
Bard joining the group? Great! We could use a utility class, let me just slide turn spell opacity

Great news. I might just return to barddom if there is a way to fix this.
As to the bard graphics discussion, I also dislike the bard lightshow. Love the EQ graphic effects, but I want them to happen when a spell goes off, not a constant barrage of light like the bard songs. Wizards and magicians etc should have lots of effects, but I never understood why Jackson's jig of vigour should bathe the world in massive curtains of orange flame.
