most people dont realize this game is exactly like BDO where you need alts of every class, and you will be buying character slots as they keep releasing new classes , so picking a main doesnt really matter
Been racking my brain trying to decide if I want to go the safe route and choose one of the high dps like scrapper which is about as easy as it comes, or go support with the pally which takes more time but can pretty much be needed in anything. Not going to be making tons of alts as I plan to just have fun and play and not try to race to do stuff.

Top level content will want support roles as bard and paladin.
What do you /need/ the alts for? Just curious.

I am definitely concerned about Pay 2 Progress features and so will play pure F2P and decide what to do after hitting endgame and seeing how I like it. I will play it casually as I think Last Epoch will be my goto ARPG once multiplayer arrives.
I'm also not a fan of time gating in ARPGs, although they were fine in the more casual Marvel Heroes MMOARPG. But Lost Ark will have a lot more try-hards and feeling left behind is quite possible.
I see the Founder's packs are sold on both Amazon and Steam, but the game can only be played via Steam. Not optimal but at least it's not an Epic Store exclusive.
I do like how clearly Amazon calls out the absurdity of the oxymoronic monetization models we deal with today.
Oh well, that ship's long since sailed, at least there's no NFTs to pre-order, perhaps they could even promote it with somthing like "100% NFT Free".... sort of like is done with MSG.

I played a lot of Baldur's Gate, etc, and isometric was great then. But when I fire it up today, I just can't get into it.

2024: 47 years on the Net.
Come on... even relics like Silkroad Online, Lineage 2 and Metin2 allowed you to tilt the camera in 360° to be able to see the sky and the horizon.
And a top-down game where you can barely see 2 meters around you has a mount system...
I don't want to appear like I'm hating on the game, but I even played the Steam Beta and was so bored I could not pass the tutorial.
Why is this game so appealing?!
There is literally no reason to "wait a few months" because 1) Is free 2 play and 2) The game already runs very smooth and there will be little to no real problems on the launch day ...except of course, for "full servers" ( I think ).

I hate "full servers" and my guess there will be some initial problems.
As you said, F2P, hackers and exploiters will be out in force I'm sure.
