I'm thinking it would be a decent enough idea to have a character build thread going, to talk ideas for what would be good, workable, silly, general theorycrafting, the works. Newbie traps can be avoided with some knowledge and foresight, after all.
For me, and with the game in its alpha state, there's still a lot of things I don't know in terms of how things work, or how effective they may be. So I might spare a little time and make an alt or two to check things out.
One build in particular that I'm going to try for, is something to utilize the race specific combat skills. How good are a hedgehog's quills, for instance? I'll be putting some of the findings in here.
