I remember when I started playing in 1999 I spent a few weeks using my schools super fast internet to pick a class - before deciding on a human magician.

When created this char my friend (who was an expert lvl 12 wizard) gave me the following advice:
Strength: How hard you hit enemies for
Stamina: How long you can run / sprint / keep fighting
Agility: Helps you move around the world, making you quicker and more able to dodge
Dexterity: Makes you better at landing hits on enemies
Intelligence: Worthless stat
Wisdom: Worthless stat
Charisma: Lets you buy items for cheaper

Everywhere I read that magicians were a battle wizard, and what status do a battle wizard need! Str and Sta!

Needless to say I hit lvl 35 and decided to reroll a gnome.

I am sure if my 16 year old self knew what I was getting myself into I would have put more thought in the first time around!
