From what I recall gathering isnt restricted, you should be able to do all 5 (i think there were 5) up to max level. The gathering was one of the things i really enjoyed about EQ2 when I played before, I would just run around and gather when I should've been leveling haha =)

So I looked on the IS page, it looks like its a yearly subscription to use it, that seems.. not as good as Keyclone. You say you can use keyclone AND IS, do you need both? Or is IS a keystroke broadcaster like Keyclone is. I will try to research this issue more on my own too.

I am actually one of the few people (i think) who liked to try and keep his WoW interface clean so the lack of mods doesnt bother me that much.

Ill have to see.

I really liked my little berserker dude before so I think I will make him again. I will probably make the 2nd account a dirge or some sort of healer, will have to do some reading at work today.
