I've always played as an Agnostic Wizzie. I don't like having negative faction alignments, and unless your DE your faction is good enough everywhere to justify positive alignments

On EQLive, my Agnostic DE Wizzie in classic was able to go into freeport without having to work up faction (Dubious/Apprehensive), unlike those who chose Innoruuk (Not sure on Sol Ro's alignment, though).
I hear that DEs are hated there regardless of diety to start with on P1999.
I picked a Human Wizard this time around, Agnostic, hopefully to be able to go into Neriak to buy hate stones at some point :-p
