Any chance you think of getting a character creation simulator?
I would just like to see how different things play into it. Since the concept sounds open as to what a character will become, I assume it is similar to Eve character creation where choosing race, background and something like schooling leads to a character stronger in certain areas and initial skills, but doesn't really make it impossible to change.
Asside from that I would like to get the true idea of skill bandwidth, what is the ideal combination of skills to maximize learning potential without hindering (i.e. getting as close as possible to the softcap)? If you make a mistake can you pause or otherwise put on hold a skill, or do you simply have to remove it? Also if you learn a skill and don't exercise it does it count towards your softcap?
Any chance of if god forbid some of us don't get into the full beta, to have some form of restricted beta information? (i.e. more information, simulations, everything short of actually playing, I don't know make it require more registration information or a credit card to better identify the people for privacy concerns and agreements.)

P.S. either way just looking not to be disappointed again in a game with so much potential.... I am just afraid my expectations from FAQ, other posts and interviews is building up in my mind to an impossible standard to live up to.
