The Adventurer class was a fair equivalent of modernday MMO Druids; a kind of jack-of-all, that could do most things reasonably well, travelled well, got heals of reasonable potency and did indeed get the ability to turn into various wildlife. I can't remember if this was just cosmetic or had stats too though. Other classes got lesser shapeshifting; high level Engineers, a robot based pet class, could actually become robots eventually. EQ and EQ2 do a lot with Illusions, allowing players of all sorts of classes to look like a different species, but that was cosmetic only. Age of Conan's troubles are almost certainly linked to only hitting two out of the three B's; Blood, Boobs and *Bestiality*! Anarchy Online did a fair bit with shapeshifting.

I have a niggling feeling that AoC does this as well, but I believe I'm obliged to be a fanboy (I could be wrong) and say that Blizzard does it better, you can tell because, erm, I dunno. Anyway, we still have druids, and I need to go farm more primal air for moonkin gear before I go insane. More insane. Something.

Would explain why City of Heroes keeps adding costume elements for the innumerable legions of catgirls to become even catgirl-ier...
