I play asheron's call, and I've played the 4th coming off and on for a few years. I like the whole group thing to a degree, I like being able to play multiplayer with friends when they aren't there, and I love quests.
I used to prefer fast attacking style characters like dagger users, or unarmed. But in the last year I've switched over exclusively to using mages, mostly cause games are so unbalanced in mages favor and it makes it actually possible to see more of the game.
If anyone else plays AC, I'm "Scared Rabbit" on solclaim. Previous main (and occasional quester) of "Tenkawa keitarou"
