this sounds very interesting. i believe that i would like to take part but as im new to DAoC, i will have to do some research before i get involved. i was hoping someone could point me to a resourceful guide as to the roles of each class.
i have always done best in a CC role, but i also enjoy being dps/utility.

Would be great to have you, DAoC came out 2 years after EQ, so they have alot in common, though class names might be a bit misleading when compared to their EQ counterparts. The sites I've used in the past to help introduce new players to the game are down unfortunately, although there's the
camelot.allakhazam.com DB which is still up.
I'll write the basic descriptions here for the time being, I'll try to find a decent site which would go into more detail though. Depending on the spec(ialization) of the class you pick, you'll have different spells/abilities, so for example; 2 high-lvl Wizards can have enitrely different spec spells based on the way they invest their training points as they level. That's one of the better things about DAoC, you have to choose between different paths, and your decisions will have a great impact on how good your character can get.
If any of you here played WoW, the Talent Tree system is basically a copy of how spec paths are in DAoC.
The amount of training points differ by class, Healers & Casters get 1.0x points per level (when you get lvl 5, you get 5 pts, when 6 then 6 pts, etc.) Pure Tanks get 2.5x from what I remember. If you use the Character Spec Builder I posted on page 1, you can see how it works for yourselves.

Come to think of it, I vaguely remembered writing all the class roles out on page 3 of this thread. I've linked the page instead of the post, cause I also wanted to show you how it's possible to level off PvP almost exclusively.
The XP gained through PvP is also uncapped, check out that screenie to see how it looks. The image shows what capped XP looks like at lvl 48 after killing Legion, one of the toughest raid mobs in the game across all 3 realms, in comparison to killing a lvl 49 Shaman (cave spec, not so easy to take down 1v1, especially cause they were buffed and I wasn't.)
