P99 is an excellent choice if you enjoy a challenge. The classic style of EQ play never held your hand, and if you enjoy combing the wiki and planning your own adventure, this is the place to be.
I agree with the above suggestions of Necro/Mag/Dru as good starting caster classes, but there is also a case to be made for bards. I detest playing casters but knew I'd need somebody that relied on gear just a bit less as my first toon so I rolled a bard and I'd recommend it if you want to be able to play both a melee and a caster. Just beware as learning how to twist songs and swarm kite will add to the already steep learning curve but the reward is that you can just wear whatever gear you want and still kite down a whole zone if you know what you're doing.
