Nah, people did Isle of Refuge till like, 5 to maybe 7, then went to Qeynos or Freeport (or you chose if you went neutral). This was back at the beginning, when you picked a sub class (Fighter, Scout, Mage, etc), then picked a branch class at a later level (Crusader, and other), then picked your final class (paladin, shadowknight, guardian...). You didn't worry about class alignment til later, so neutral races with neutral classes could choose to go Freeport or Qeynos right there, based on how you were convinced. Evil races went Freeport, and Good went Qeynos. Later, you could do betrayal quests and switch sides if you wanted to. Friend of mine ended up being something weird, like a troll paladin. Was pretty amusing.

They eventually got rid of this system entirely and went to other newbie zones, and now you just pick your class regularly. Last I played regular live, Qeynos was being attacked by dragons.

Anyhow, you can get the game client here, it's a live thing through DBG:

Hmm, I don't remember the isle of refuge deal, but I'll take your word on it ^^ I played a Dark Elf Brawler turned Monk. Loved the betrayal quest, low end raid content, active crafting, legendary quest items, & dropped skill tier upgrades. I didn't mind the shared xp penalties either. Been a long time though.
