Aye, really best to keep it simple at the start. You are embarking on
a quite an undertaking as a complete newbie to MMORPGs, so best to
stick to the straight forward cl***** until you get to grips with all
the other things you need to learn. Very few, if any, folks stick to
the first few characters they roll anyway. Even if you are a seasoned
MMORPG player you still need to get the feel for a new game so initial
toons are usually rerolled once you have more experience in that game
world.

It's about 10pm, so I'll log into Ector now and see if you are on. If
not I'll check evenings around 10pm as that is when you said you
usually play.

Leave that for now. Get a feel for crafting through basic crafting.
Don't specialise yet until you learn more about the game.

CoH is a really fun game but, as you say, nowhere near as deep as
DAoC. I still play from time to time. I have a US CoH account though
and the one downside of CoH US is that the maturity level of the
community is not high. Far lower than WoW even in my opinion. That has
to be expected though given the super hero thing and US kids. One of
the things I hate when I reactivate my US CoH account is the constant
group invite spamming, especially when I'm on four tough mobs and some
daft kid keeps spamming the invite.

I take it that the UK version has specific UK servers, and not just
the same ones as the US? If so I'll probably buy CoV/CoH UK combined
box that will no doubt be out and the community will probably be more
mature than on the US servers.
