A few more questions:
How interchangeable is gear between souls? Say you play a melee rogue and wish to switch to a marksman or something like that. Are you carrying a completely different set for that or is the melee one usable-ish?
Anyone a bit more versed in pvp? Are there areas (something along the lines of Wintergrasp or Tol Barad) or areas within areas (Halaa, HF peninsula) that are dedicated more to developing pvp between factions or is everything pretty much instanced?
Proffesions - how balanced are they at max level and how usable on lower levels? I pretty much don't bother in wow anymore as you can't really justify spending money and time making droves of next to useless crap that is either vendored or dissenchanted, so I just powerlevel it when I reach max, sometimes just high enough to reach the raiding bonus. How does Rift compare, should I even bother picking up a crafting proffesion before max level or even then?
