"Will you be making supportive fighters?" "Yes."

The EQ Warrior class is essentially the cornerstone of the "tank" concept in terms of having a strict taunt mechanic, and the EQ Bard class is basically a fighter who does nothing but provide group support.

This literally describes the original Everquest. I do not recommend anyone who thinks 4E is well designed play Everquest.

Alternatively, public libraries. Where the pay is actually worse, but the management is usually pretty cool. Also: No late fees on books you take out. If you also don't mind dealing with screaming kids sometimes.

Libraries around these parts avoid keeping RPG stuff because it gets stolen all the time. True, annoying story.

That's a shame. I got into D&D by reading 2e core rulebooks I borrowed from my library after seeing ads in old comic books.

Libraries having RPG books is still crazy to me. Really though, growing up in the South I'm shocked when a library has more then just the Bible and the Left Behind Series.

The bookstore at the mall where I grew up was one of those stores with a front and rear entrance into different parts of the mall. The RPG books had to be moved into a strategic location toward the middle of the store with a clear line of sight to the registers because they were the most frequently shoplifted products.

Fixed. I still do not understand how games where you can be killed by randomly wandering boss monsters and lose several hours of effort ever became popular.

At least there's a currently-available high-res PDF of a very good FR corebook for those who want setting data. That can't be said for Greyhawk and possibly never will, somehow.

Apparently the expectation is that if you want to know about the setting changes, you'll have to read them in the novels.
