I've always wondered why other Bards started playing the Bardic class. When I first learned of the game, a friend mentioned that Bards could always find their corpses (and the zones were huge when I first saw the game), and could run faster then others...that got me to start playing the Bard, and I've been hooked ever since. (It also helped that the Bard class is so flexible once you learn it...that's a huge bonus.)

So, why did you start playing a Bard?
