Latest Blog Entry - Playing A MMORPG To Help Fight A Phobia
From my blog Mental Health [Quintor]
Can playing an online game help you deal with a phobia? Will MMORPGs become the new model for computer therapy?
A recent MSNBC article talks about how online games are helping people deal with their phobias.
It's interesting how they are using a game called Fear Fighter to treat short-term phobias such as panic attacks, depression, and social anxiety. Serious psychiatric problems like bipolar disorder, suicidal tendencies or schizophrenia are too complex to be cured by computer programs.
Psychiatrists shouldn't worry that they might become obsolete.
"We still need therapists to be creative and do all the things a computer can't, like express empathy and respond to the idiosyncrasies of a person's life situation and their history," said Dr. Jesse Wright, a psychiatrist at the University of Louisville, who has studied the use of computer therapy.

- Which Class?
I would recommend a paladin for a good solo class at low levels.
If you plan on playing longer than the 10-day trial, I would go with a WF Wiz as someone else suggested.
Now that the rest shrines reset on normal/solo difficulty, caster classes are great for solo'ing.

I wish they had some way to adjusting the volume for people in your group.
Some people are loud and others you can barely hear.

- Has it improved?
I don't like how they added weapon's that you now have to upgrade. I think they call it a crafting system.
Basically, you need to run The Shroud quest over and over. It's another grind they added to the game.
