So here I am - Almost creaming myself with excitement - Waiting for Titanium to download.
I played on the Drinal server many years ago, during the golden age of Norrath (pre Luclin), as a Bard - And I'm sat here trawling the message boards for any information I care to read (I'm at page 28 right now, oh dear), and the one thing that I really want to know seems to be the one thing that nobody wants to comment on...
I'm talking, of course, about class popularity.
Now I know the standard reply 'Don't be influenced by the community, play your own game, all classes are in need' - However, when you've been reading as much as I have, you're bound to find the odd comment that gets you thinking.
It seems as though Bards are being touted as soloing favourites (along with Necros, of course), and whilst this was true in the good old days, it seemed that only the more cultured players were ever up for the challenge. This created a lovely little niche in which I thrived, as Bards were always in demand.
Although there's probably nothing you could say to stop me recreating my old character, I'd be interested to know if Bard's are as popular as they appear? Or, if in my selective state of mind, I've merely overlooked all the threads about other popular classes.
Any information would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to many long nights of SoDomy.
Cheers!
