I'm going to post up my multiboxing experience on a separate post later today when I get home from work, but right now I'm going to just lightly comment on what BBJ's friend said so that nobody gets the wrong idea:

1. It repatches for me about every 3-4 days. This takes about 5 minutes. No complaints from me on this.

2. Almost every class in the game is a "clothy" when you're talking in WoW terms. Levels 1-20 do not really represent class balance as most classes just have the shared abilities that all Rogue or Warrior or Priest class sets get. For the record, the most durable classes in the game are actually the "clothy" Priest classes because of the amazing heals that they get. As you climb higher and higher above 20 it gets harder and harder to 3 shot someone from stealth. By the time you hit 40 the classes are *fairly* balanced in pvp. Not great, but somewhat equal--Good for a week and change after launch

3. Hunter's damage is all level front loaded. From 1-40 they are a powerhouse, and then it starts to taper off. Remember, melee/physical dps classes generally do gear based damage whilst casters do ability based damage. This means that at different bands different classes are better. Rangers really equalize/get a little underpowered post 40 when they can't 3 shot anyone anymore.

4. Yeah, the ticket system is overloaded right now.

5. You don't have to take gathering if you don't want to... But you're allowed all of them and it's the only way to help your guild build a keep.

6. They just reactivated the traders a few days ago and the economy is starting to equalize out.

I think that, all things considered, I'd say it's the smoothest launch I've ever seen and I've been around for everything from EQ1 onwards. No excessive downtime, not many GAME BREAKING bugs, a very polished combat system etc.

Also... I'm able to dual box on an Athlon 4800+ Dual core, 4 gig of ram, 8800 gtx overclocked computer with medium settings at ~55fps average. It's not that bad
