I just started, but here's my background and advice:

I coach college football, high school track and field, work full time, have two kids and a woman at home to attend to. Time isn't something I'm swimming in. When I first got p99, I knew I wanted to play a warrior. It's just what I want to play. But as I was playing him, I realized that soon I was going to need to have a major gear upgrade to be able to solo and not rely on grouping all the time given the amount of time I typically play.

So, I re-rolled as a necro. I'll be leveling him in order to get gear to play my warrior. I can solo the necro in whatever time I do have time to play, and in time I'll be able to play the warrior solo in some circumstances as long as I keep him over geared. End game I'll need to rely on a group (and close to it) but I'll at least be able to move forward.

So my recommendation is to play a class that can solo well at first and not group reliant: Enchanter, necro, wizard, mage, druid, shaman, bard in no particular order. Level them and then gear up whatever class you truly want to play. It's really going about it backwards, but it's almost necessary if you have a time crunch.
