What will be your primary class on Green?

Cleric isn't really surprising given they're such an absurdly powerful duo/trio class. Cleric+Mage and Cleric+Chanter can basically hold any camp in classic quite easily.

Wizard (my vote) being equal to or greater than Mage/Necro is more surprising to me. That said, rhey're AMAZING in Classic-era (IMO) and ports to Hate/Sky will be in very high demand - granting a potentially significant source of income. Guilds racing to get up to the planes won't be able to wait for their Wizards for ports and will likely pay a considerable coin to discrete wizards

The only reason monk numbers kinda low is because iksars are so much better.

It's tough because vanilla monk with basically zero gear is some good frickin gaming and it never comes back. Once kubark drops you are geared to the teeth for life.

Yeah, monk is probably the most surprising result here. That's a class that needs NOTHING to level. No armor, no weapons. You just go .....

A naked Monk is better than any other naked melee, but still pales in comparison to a naked caster. Good Monk gear is so cheap on Blue that it completely changes the class at lower levels. A 50pp Wu's staff alone can probably triple your leveling speed compared to bare fists (which literally don't even get in the ballpark of Kunark ratios until level 50). Then factor in no Iksar racials and human night blindness and it's no surprise most people will take a pass on Monks til Kunark. Even a modestly twinked Iksar Monk with a 50 Druid powerleveling him can solo to 50 in under a week and be good to go for Kunark and Velious.

The monk weight limit doesn't allow you to get rich(relatively speaking) early on. Looting stuff is fun. That's the main reason I opted against the monk in its prime. Even though i know it would be a blast.

Going Bard, m'self. That's after the announcements to limit targeting, kiting, and hot bottons. Bring on the groups!

I wonder just how accurate this poll will be on green launch day.

Not very, I wager.
I know I've already changed my class. Well, I change it at least once a day, but I'm 90% sure I won't be going with what I initially voted - which was Warrior.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I would expect fewer Rangers Paladins Wizards and more Magicians Necros and Monks.

Not me. People don't like monks and necros knowing how superior Iksar is, and Paladins and Rangers are going to be popular for guise runners.

Getting hype! 34 more people voted on this poll just this past Saturday and Sunday. The population is coming back home!

PS: And six of those 34 people voted Magician.
