1) Nope.
2) Dunno.
TigerB was PS7 and I got a H12 template with all skills at cheng 10. After a couple of days I realised I didn't want to go through all the grinding, buying books and buff training again. I haven't gone as far as uninstalling the game yet but my version is 2 patches behind and I haven't logged in since Dec. 2010.
I'll wait and see what the new healer skills are like (if they ever come). If it's not any good, it'll be the end of the 9Dragons chapter for me. There's too many other games out there.
