Well despite what I said in the F2P thread I was looking around on the Vanguard website last night and remembered that I really enjoyed my first month of the game. I think I'll give it a whirl now that it is F2P.

Can anyone answer a few questions for me:
1. What is the optimum group size? I would like to be able to do most content but don't really want to run 6 characters. I find with that many chars I end up a manager rather than enjoying the game. I would prefer 3 to 4 chars if they can do most content.

2. Class suggestions - I am not much of a finger wiggler. I was thinking Warrior or Paladin, ranger/bard/monk and either Cleric or Disciple for healer.

3. Does race matter for classes?

4. Starting area - is it better to start in the new Isle area or in each races home town?

5. Can any race quest anywhere or are they confined to their own continent?

I am looking forward to a game with macros after playing SWToR.
