Thank you all for your responses.

It is a bummer that monks are overplayed. Might there be suggestions for other classes that are needed, can solo relatively well on odd times and have a chance, albeit slim, of getting their epic? I do not mind playing any role, I have fun from healing to tanking to pew pew.

I think once I obtain a copy of titanium somehow today, I will install the game and try to get up and running.

Just as in live the main classes are Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter, Shaman, Monk, Rogue, (bard) with Pal, Sk, Ranger, Wiz, Mage all to some extent falling outside the 'ideal' group comp (not to say they are not needed!) and then tons of necro/druids running around soloing.

That said, there may be a lot of monks and rogues but guilds also need monks and rogues as they are 2 of the primary dps classes. They also benefit from being able to actually complete their epics without forking out 350k+ to buy dragon loot making it easier to reach your DPS potential.

We have a running joke in our guild that within a week of getting a monk their epic you never see them online again unless you are raiding fear. One day we will have 5 monks show up for a raid, the next day we have 1. I would rather have 5 monks than 1 any day of the week because it is not like extra monks do not add value. Classes like shaman on the other hand you only really need a few, having 1 is needed, 2 makes it easier to buff, 5 means 2 are buffing while 3 are afk.
