Hello everyone.
Ive been playing for a tiny bit. Trying each class to see what I liked and enjoy about the game. I picked Cleric last night as the one I want to seriously level. But I am worried about making money. I had a cleric on live during Luclin and remember never soloing.
How do Clerics make money?
How important is gear? I get the feeling im gonna be naked until high level.
Is finding groups okay while leveling?

Clerics make money only slowly at low levels. At upper levels they're about mid-range. Starting from level 49 you can make some money rezzing people. In addition the class can duo very well with Enchanters and duo-farm just about any group content in the game, including a great many valuable cash camps.
Clerics are moderately dependent on equipment. They benefit from having a larger mana pool, and like having health and resist just as much as anyone else. However, a poorly-geared Cleric is less a detriment to his group than, say, a poorly-geared Warrior. During the leveling phase of the game levels are typically more important than equipment; a level 55 Cleric in lousy gear is generally better than a decked out 46. Odds are most your money will go to spells for quite awhile. Don't fret too much about equipment; P1999 is a very old server and basic equipment that'll suffice for a long time can be obtained cheaply.
The Cleric is popular in groups, with the caveat that most groups want ONE cleric and no more. If you go to a dungeon and the groups present already have the positions filled, you can expect to sit around LFG for awhile. This is true of every class, as nobody can expect to immediately find groups every time.
