The druid is a great to play if you want to explore the world of EQ for casual play. It's been said before, but you've got ports, spirit of wolf, snares, roots, tracking(!), dots, nukes and heals. At least for the outdoors, you can move freely as you want. Even if you manage to die, you won't have any issue retrieving your corpse.
It's also a really good first class to have if you plan on switching to another class. You'll be able to easily solo most camps you'd want to gear up a second character, or as already said, make plenty of platinum through doing ports. Those can go as low as 20p a person usally, up to 100p or or so if you're set up around the higher end dungons (Karnor's is a prime spot with people wanting to go to the emerald jungle). Or if you go to more difficult areas to travel to (or happen to have people that need to get to their guild raid FAST) you'll find people offering more crazy amounts in the hundreds of plat. (I've even gotten a cloak of shadows for a port!)\
Everything I've said just goes along with what was said above though.. "Great first class, plan on making an alt later"
