Was skaven playable in live game ?

They were, but only as a skin you could've picked up at 4 or 5 star keep. Number of skaven players was limited, same as siege weapons in RoR. Skaven were not a faction/class* option.

Spoiler:

* But you actually got 4 types of Skaven to transform into: Warlock, Engineer, Ogre and Runner.

They weren't just skins...but more gimmicks. You had like 4 or 5 abilities on each and you couldn't use your regular abilities.

I left the game in 2010 (I think?) so I think I missed this entirely. Were they actually fun to play as?

The Gutter Runner and Engineer were fun and pretty OP. Gutter Runner had perma stealth, revealed enemies on the minimap, and did some a pretty strong aoe attack. Engineer could stack up lightning and wipe out whole groups. The Rat Ogre and Packmaster were a bit meh. Rat Ogre had 3x normal HP, but could only be healed by a Packmaster, they could throw allies onto the keep walls. Packmaster was only good for healing the Rat Ogre.
