    I'm tempted to stop playing my chosen because I'll just be restarting him on Tuesday. LOVE the public quests, they are truly fun to do with others. Haven't had enough time with RvR yet.

      Yeah I've been really busy and haven't yet managed to log on during the open beta - I'm on holiday next week and I'm thinking I should just wait until then.

      Yeah, i'm not going hardcore either, the beta chrs will be lost but I will be playing this game for many many hrs.

      Will we have to download a seperate client or can we use our beta that we downloaded? Does anyone know?

      Here's a handy tip:
      The RvR sets you can buy at lvl 4 (renown rank 4), lvl 6 (renown rank 6) and lvl 10 (renown rank 8) blow away all other low-lvl gear in the game except for some public quest rewards. Also, you can fill out your char with trinkets and a cape through RvR rank much faster than achieving them through regular quests.
      Lastly, the RvR armor sets look pretty sweet!

      Got to Chapter 3 and thats when I started really liking the public quests. Did them a few times and GF got a blue item and I got a purple belt. Didn't realize you could sometimes get blue and gold bags from them as that was the first time I had seen it.

      Kind of sucks getting the highest contribution and rolling last place. Happens more often then I think it should. Twice in a row my GF and I were #1 and #2 in contribution and both times neither of us won anything and one rolled either last or next to last.
