If you love playing the character, I think you will find its difficulties surmountable.

Furthermore, the server will be without Goblin Earrings and even AoNs may be a long time off. We are going to need you to make us Spyglasses by the dozen. I think you could make some plat with those and Stalking Probes. Perhaps Tinkering truly "takes off" after Velious, but the rather short list of classic recipes includes those key items.
Here I was about to write off the Gnome until I saw your comment. Their low strength makes me a little wary even compared to a human, but now in my mind they are a bit more equal. The ability to cast enduring breath on myself alone sounds pretty nice. Now I just have to make sure I'm okay with staring at a cute little gnome for hours and hours.

I'm definitively sold on a rogue though. I keep thinking of all the times I struggled to get my corpse back or the stress of trying to get to a camp deep in a dungeon. The simplicity of not having any spells is going to be nice too. It will allow me to focus more on my surroundings and manage my group since I'll probably be the one starting my groups.
