Thanks for the report. :)
I remember a quote a long time ago from Bill Roper that people didn't want to start out in a MMORPG killing rats, and they wanted to make WoW different But, somehow, what you're describing as your starting experience does sound a bit on the rat-killing end of things. I realize MMORPGs aren't the same as Diablo, but one thing the original Diablo did so well was give you the feeling of danger and excitement from very the first moment you set foot in the Church, and not just make you feel "well I have to kill a whole bunch of skeleton's beforel I lvl up enough to get to the interesting bits."
