Hello, hello, hello, is there anybody in there... Just smile if you can hear me...

Here's how i would suggest classes based on how you want to play

if the archer was your winged elf class of choice it's no wonder it's not your playstyle. They are a dying class and hardly anyone plays them.
As a cleric (the arcane ultimate healer class of the winged elves) i like having the power over life and death in game. someone in squad ticks you off for no good reason, refuse to give them res when they die and either make them lose exp by going back to town, or they quit squad, either way i'm good. also have four primary defensive buffs, and Violet Dance mode play is wicked.
If you're looking to try a new class i would suggest anything other than a veno, unless you want to spend hours trying to tame and collect strong pets, then leveling each one up, working on each one's skills and the evolution. Veno's are sexy no doubt (got that part human part wild animal thing going for them) but making a good one takes a ton of effort.
Mystics are complicated as they are kind of a veno fuzed with a cleric. They have four main skillsets. First are the summons, they're like veno pets and help in combat, but unlike a veno pet are not meant to hold agro off you. then come the plants. These plants are used to inflict either damage or status effects and you can have more than one summoned at a time, which leads to the spell Lysing where you kill the plants to make a powerful small aoe explosion causing damage and various effects. then they have their heal skills including their own version of reviving the dead, and then their main attack spells. this class takes dedication
If you like aps go for an assassin or blademaster. sin is the easier of the two, as the blademaster has a wide versatile weapon use, and each type of weapon has it's own skill tree. but keep in mind sins are a dex class and their high crit rate with fast attack combined with damage amplifying Subsea Strike they hit hard
If you're the ultimate spell caster type i would go Stormbringer first cause of the mobile casting. Psychic second because they channel wicked fast and hit hard. Wizard last because it's the most challanging in my opinion to do.
If you're looking to tank Barbarian is the top choice as they have the most hp of any class, but seekers make for decent tanks too as they tend to be a high vitality build after getting the minimum stats for gear.
Last is the Duskblade. i've only played this class a little bit, but this is definately one of the most interesing of the classes. They are dex based, are considered a melee class but ranged damage (phys and mag) gets reduced dependng on how far the attack is away from your Duskblade, They require effort as their strong points are the combo skills. Some skills can't be used until the primary skill for the combo is used, and u have to use the next skill within a time limit. Add all that to the duskblade exclusive unpurgeable Paralyse status effect, this class has the abilty to block your actions from a distance then get close and keep your actions locked for a good devastating while. This is a great class for 1v1 PVP

Hope this helps you decide on which class you want to try

Welp, I was planning on sending this via PM, but since it was rare I used PMs I didn't even notice until now that they're gone; so I'll just dump this note here. Hopefully it'll make your transition here a bit smoother:

Completely inconsistent punishment of rule infrigment, especially for rules largely seen as archaic because a vast majority of the playerbase has been breaking them for years (account-sharing, 2-accounts-per-person rule) due to (1) the game's tendency to encourage those sorts of actions and (2) the practice of non-enforcement by staff in previous years. Whether you decide to enforce the rules or not, trying to make that enforcement considerably more consistent (rather than 99% of infringements resulting in no punishment and 1% resulting in permaban) would be much appreciated. Do note, as some have mentioned, that actually globally enforcing these rules would probably mean banning at least half of your more serious playerbase.

Rid of such serious playerbase pwi please, if you can do it.

May be then game can be playable. Those, who have end-game gear because of breaking rules for years must be punished for it.

Welcome to pwi CM Domino.

Its not just high end players nor do they have high end gear for breaking rules generally. Lack of enforcing rules has created situation where everybody is breaking certain rules. Vast majority of ingame spouses(and close friends) share their account information, lot of people have access to old accounts who had their player quit or just made more than 2 accounts for convenience.

The problem is also how this game promotes multi accounts. Want to solo TT? You need 4 toons to open the instance. Want to PV? Only 1 instance can be opened per day, which results ppl using alts/inactive friends to open more instances for them. Add on top of all that the non account bound **** from promos, where you benefit for having access to multiple accounts.

If PWE wants to start enforcing those rules, they should inform players before doing so because right now enforcing rules would mean banning half of your playerbase. The main hit would be among more active players, who spend majority of the money this game makes. Personally I would let these offenses slide trough as long as there is nothing extreme in them, like selling ones account for real money for example. Certain advantages, like levels from having multiple PV openers in past, would only solidify the advantage gained from breaking ToS if these rules would be enforced.

Here's a tip of where you can start in game.
Step 1) log on to any server
Step 2) find some remote place on map to hide (you must be hidden for this to work)
Step 3) get your ban trigger ready
Step 4) watch World Chat while remaining hidden
Step 5) ban people in World Chat as needed
Note that if you are not hiding and the server finds out you are on. World Chat will become instantly clean. So hide and be ready to ban some people

But ...PWI is even MORE entertaining when people are raging in world chat.....
