Shala: I will hear no more of this blasphemy good sir!
Pistols at dawn!
bpops: To be fair, I played when it first came out, and it was not solo-friendly in the least. Difficult to quest, difficult to find groups, and tons of bugs. I hear they've made a lot of changes to compete with wow though, and it's now a much more pleasant experience.
It's true, it's most definitely more user friendly now. I've played on and off since release week.
It's not even the same game anymore I think.
For one you don't have to progress through the class trees anymore, just pick your class straight up. Among many many many many other changes.
