I found Evan Curries Warrior's Wings series to be pretty good. Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos. Had a guilty pleasure reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
Yeah looks like its old school. You dont start as classes, still have to do the mage/acololyte/fighter etc.. chain. Doubt there will be trainers for those classes.
As long as all the battlegrounds are in leveling shouldnt be an issue. If i remember correctly you can level fast as hell in them. I'll go Skald if this really happens/midguard is the realm.
I've leveled a DH and Wiz from scratch on the PTR and so far Wiz is way more interesting. Not sure if its a bug or not, but arcane torrent + magic weapon/deflection = massive shield.
So I'm seeing a few games listed as released on DEC 31 2014 on amazons site. Is this accurate or just a place holder? Witcher 3, The Division and The Order:1886 being 3 I checked.
