Default New Player, looking for a little advice and some friends

Hello everyone! I'm going to try to be concise here but its hard, I have a lot to say.

I first discovered everquest through a commercial in a hotel room in 99 as a kid. I actually obtained titanium sometimes later when I was 15 or so but didn't have a pc that could run it. Recently I got an mmo bug and I am all about retro everything so when I found out everquest was still up and f2p I tried it out. I quickly discovered pretty much everyone had crossed the fence to this p99 thing and I was not being nearly as retro as I could be! XD

My experience with mmos is very limited. I've dabbled with wow, STO, and ff11. But I've never made it all that far for one reason or another.

I don't like calling myself "casual". I don't play casually I just don't play every waking second and I don't care much for a long list of statistics and acronyms that for me take away from the spirit of the game. No offense meant to min-maxers, play every game your way. But for me if I wanted to number crunch I'd play fantasy football not a fantasy game. There's nothing wrong with that play style and I get the appeal but I just lose immersion when I try it.

When i have played mmos I get the most fun from two scenarios. 1. Heavy role playing. 2. A kind of sewing circle, just a group of people that all chat about whatever while they solo grind and occasionally get together to group through a dungeon or zone. Even if I'm not in a party its just fun having people to chat with while I work. I tend to take mmos slowly, not in a big rush to reach a certain level or blow through all the content. I like to explore the world and really take my time everywhere.

I'm hoping to find a good group of peeps just to hang around, even if your higher level just trying to build a community.

I'm still experimenting though with what I'm going to play. I tried paladin but my concept for the character was not workable and I didn't care much for the class. MMO melee tends to bore me so I think I'm staying in the caster classes. I tried wizard last night...and then found out a lot of people hate wizard. Right now I'm debating between keeping the wizard going or making a mage/necro. Any advice based on my play type for this would be appreciated.

P99 is a wonderful thing and I'm so glad this happened. I'm looking forward to playing with everyone and thanks to all the random people who have been running up to me and buffing my level 1s and 2s. =P
