Cheese

Too dependant on HEALERS and when one decides to quit your group , you will have a hard time. And ive gotten my necro up to 30 and guess what ? this game sucks,is broken. No way you can do anything :AQs or ELs without a group: so imo this is the worst game of the year, Pale's in comparison to EQ1 even. Had high -hopes but now i hope i never see it agian and please oh god please dont start charging for additional content.
