I am wayyyyy late to this party, but just had to chime in, because I love your spirit and enthusiasm for this. In my experience (I'm very old), MMOs are all about people. I'm happy to play any kind of character, if I'm doing it with people that are awesome, and that I'm having fun with. This seems to fit that bill 100%. I just rolled a plant/dark troller named Dr Forest Floor, you can contact me @Ultrazen for the global. Not sure how much I'm going to be around the next couple of months as I have a lot going on, but will try to get leveling etc!
Thank you for this, threads and communities like this, are why I found MMOs so engaging way back when, and ever since.
