For all of us who are outside of North America (or the E.U.?) and so weren't able to play the Beta...
1. How many characters are you allowed for the same monthly fee?
2. Are there any storage problems? Do you run out of inventory space a lot?
3. Is it one class per character, or many classes on one character?
(I played FFxi then WOW. I thought that not being allowed to play more than one class on the same character was the stupidest idea ever... and then I saw what it meant in practise. In FFxi I never had even close to a reasonable amount of storage space, since I had to store complete gear and item sets for every job/class. It took me half an hour to change jobs/classes, since I ended up storing so much gear in the mail-box.
4. How colourful is the game? I mean this literally. WOW has many brightly coloured areas, and I find I respond to this much more positively than to the (to my tastes) bland tertiary coloured landscapes in FFxi. The armour, too in WOW was heaps more colourful, and I prefer that as well. (We shall not talk about the shoulder-pads.)
5. How many things are you allowed to list on the AH at one time? Is it easy enough to find information in the Auction House?
6. How many things can you send through the mail-box at one time? Are there a lot of mail-boxes around?
7. What are the travel times like? Are they reasonable?
8. Is it fun? I know this is very much a matter of taste, but there are some games that you can say are just too hard work, for the reward you get out of it... or just too easy to be fun, or just not enough in it to be interesting.
9. Are there any "gathering professions" ?
