Speaking of varied core play styles for the ES pop, I'm waiting for someone to ask about vampires and werewolves lol. One of several reason I remain leery they can actually attract & keep a significant portion of the ES crowd in an mmo environment.
EDIT: actually, giving it some thought assuming the initial rollout is decent, the Vampire werewolf meme could be an excellent basis for expansion. good luck in balancing passes however.
And before you ask, yes, vampirism and lycanthropy are also in with their own skill lines.
