There are about 3000 people that play with regularity here on p1999. At any given time there is an average of about 1200 people online.
In my opinion the best way to play the game is to start out with only rudimentary information, then find out things for yourself through trial and error. I had the most fun when there was a very real sense of danger and wonder as I explored the world. The one thing that is critically important is to understand what your play style is: do you want an active or passive role in game or are you a casual play or will you eventually be a hard core player?
Just about any class is good, however if you are a casual player I would suggest against certain classes that largely require a group at lower levels like Warrior, Ranger, Wizard, or Rogue.
If you have no experience in EQ, it will take you months or years to reach maximum level and high end gear on a single character (depending on class). In the cases where many of us have been on here a long time there is just so much to do with so many alts it would take so many years to do "everything" that is an option.
Plenty of people in game will be happy to help, so ask when needed. Good luck.
