I know not of this word "good".

The last few pages have made it very clear I should go against all this advice on what you absolutely must do for maximum efficiency and then post about what fun it is so some goon has an aneurysm about how I'm having fun wrong.

I like this game already.

Fun is having a game with many PvE systems for lots of players to get lost in, as well as open enough PvP rules to allow us to then wreck that fun.

Sounds like EVE Online to me, OP.

I am attempting to decide what class to play at launch and am having a hell of a time deciding between wizard and sorceress. I will probably be solo most of the time but will still want to join in on the GvG shenanigans as much as I can, and from what I have read is that wizards are king poo poo for GvG but pretty mediocre when they are solo. So my question is are wizards viable at 1v1 or would I just be best off running as a sorceress since I will probably be solo most of the time?

Every character on your account shares the family name.

I don't think there's any significance beyond having it float above your character name.

Wizard, just like any other class in the game, is completely viable 1v1, both in PvE and PvP, since developers were well aware as to what kind of game they were making. It's not top tier solo PvP class, yes, but only because many of abilities have casting time. You still can instagib an idiot trying to claim your farming spot or calling you names.

Like, to put it in perspective, with the sorceress you may as well build an alchemist table in a wagon and plug yourself into it, given the amount of potions you'll need just for farming. Every class has pluses and minuses, none have crippling disability to do something solo in this game.

To continue on this, here's a video how an average player on Witch (Wizard) was getting ganked by an average Tamer, which at the time was ("arguably") the best solo PvP class until quite later into the game than seen on the video.

Actually the best class is NEET. Since gear is way more important and that will require grinding.

Sorceress, Blader, and Ninja have some learning curve. Everything else is playable from the get go.
