| Make a couple different characters of different race/class combinations that sound intresting and play each to ~lvl 10 or maybe even 20. That will give you a decent idea of how each class plays so you can decide on one that suits your playstyle.
Unless you have friends that play on a particular faction, try both durring this period. You're going to be spending a lot of time in your faction's territory so you'll want it to at least be easy on the eyes, depending on what you like. |
