I've been on and off this server for 7-8 years now and even being banned a couple of times along the way. It's hard to replicate the social dynamic this game creates and some of these classes haven't been made in any other MMO, which makes them quite unique.
My favorite class used to be the rogue. I've only had 2 60's on this server and both were/are rogues. As Evia stated, extremely low responsibility in groups or raids and I personally think it's a great introduction class into EQ to get to understand zones better and get a feel for everything before you do any deep diving on a different class that plays a bigger role.
After getting a Bard, Cleric, Druid, Enchanter, Monk, Shaman and Warrior 50+, I've added Enchanter and Monk to my favorites.
The Enchanter has so much control in groups that it's hard to play anything else after. Not only can you mez / stun / root mobs, you provide some of the best buffs in the game with crack and haste, and can outdps your entire group with a charmed mob hitting the 200-250 dps range. Since healing can be a bit boring in this game, I find Enchanter scratches that itch for me of perfecting an art in every group I join. I personally don't like soloing much, but they make fantastic soloers and even better duo/trio partners. You also won't find this skill set in any other game.
Monks are the only class where I feel 100% safe running around freely in any zone (except DN because those traps can suck). Instantly FDing whenever and being able to tank and dps is huge. By far the best melee class in my opinion. Though, I do have to be in the mood to pull for groups. Endlessly pulling can get tiring for me, especially being a rogue in my past lives.
TL;DR - I love my characters and I can't find their play styles in other MMOs which keeps me coming back again and again.
