Ah, that's interesting Oneiromancer thanks for the heads up. It sorta flys in the face of some of the things I've been reading on EQII.Com and the official site and put's a different spin on things.
I'd much rather a game that played a bit boring until 20, then after things really started to open up. That imo, could hardly be considered as A Bad Thing, especially as you get your first archtype choice at 10 and the game has an (eventual) level cap of 200.
I guess the only thing left is to wait and see. I hate doing that. *pout*
