Parties in RoM are 6 men, I've been boxing them for a few weeks so far (since the big downtimes and instability of 3.1 in WoW).
When you create your main Frogster account, you can then create additional game client instance accounts under that, much like the battle.net layout WoW now has. So no need the try to create a whole new Frogster account with different email.
All characters get to pick 2 classes, a primary and a secondary.
My current party is going to be (they aren't high enough level to get the second class yet):
Knight/Warrior -> the tanking king
Priest/Scout or Priest/Mage -> Primary healer (putting points into all things healing)
Priest/Rogue-> Backup healer and master buffer (putting points into increased buff effectiveness over healing power)
Mage/Priest -> DPS with some extra hot ability, but mostly just more priest dps spells
Mage/Scout -> DPS, spells with ranged scout abilities
Mage/Rogue -> DPS with melee backup ability
When considering your class combinations you should consider the "elite skills" that each combination will give you at levels 15,20,25, and 30. The lists can be seen at these links:
Levels 15,20,25
Level 30
I started my guys on the Govinda (PvE) server, since I had read somewhere in the forums that it had been the lowest population at the time. All (Aboron*) names.
Also, a few things that It helped me to know when first getting setup (thanks to digitalxero over in the ISBoxer IRC chatroom for his help and patience):
1) The default attack action also does the same thing as WoW's Interact with Target function - so it can be used for attacking, looting, and opening chat with NPC's
2) TheRomWiki has a lot of helpful info for writing macros
3) the first 2 macros I needed to get moving and fighting were:
- /script FollowUnit( "party1" ); and
- /script AssistUnit("party1");
4) Curse has some good addons for RoM: the two most important ones for me are:
- FaceTargetToAttack - keeps everyone pointed the right way when I hit my spell buttons
- QuestWiz - helps me figure out where to go for items, etc.
