Looks like folks tend to choose character classes that they've played before in other games. Perhaps that's because the classes seem familiar and they're comfortable with them? Those that have chosen something a bit different seem to have more fun, but maybe that's my interpretation!
One character class that I've never really taken to is the full-blown healer - most of my characters are the multi-role support characters: Druid, Shaman and to some extent Paladin. That might be because they have a more varied role (for example: EQ clerics seemed to run in a 'Med-Heal Fast-Med' cycle, slightly boring(!) to me) and that gave those classes a bit of an edge. Maybe now is the time to try something totally new to me, after all VSoH is a new game so it might prove a useful exercise to be different!
I'll keep you all posted

Get that video issue fixed then maybe you, the old Bard ;-P and myself can get together for a bit of fun, just like old times!
