I broke down and installed the WoW trial. I made a Human Mage on Silvermoon named Marsellus. He's black, he's bald, and he definitely does not look like a bitch.

My initial impression is it's a lot like EQ, except there's less sitting around and dying.

I'm now level 8. I think the trials are capped at 20, and at this point I'm still not planning on buying the game, so that's probably where I'll stay for a while anyway.
