I've convinced a couple of my friends who have never played WoW to give SL a chance due to the new and improved starting and leveling experience. We are scheduling dates and times to play together, but I can't seem to find any information online as to grouping in the new Exile's Reach starting area. Is it a purely solo experience? If you can group, at what point are you able to? Immediately at the beginning, or from a specific point? If you can group, will we be phased together, or will it keep us separate up to a specific point?
Thanks for the quick replies! I know the experience starts off with a lot of class, movement, and ability explanation/tutorial. I assumed we wouldn't be able to group for those bits because they are unique to each class. Is that not the case? Or can you group immediately after that start bit?
