ISO Honest opinion to my question, from a bluebie

[LittleSorcerer7]

Hello gents, Like i said looking for an honest opinion i know ill get some opinions on stuff im not asking about but so be it.

So last night couple of us came over form blue to try out EQ PVP for the first time in 14 years. That being said, Ive always only wanted to be 2 classes, Mage or paladin. I Realllly want to be a paladin for a pvp server, but with the population so low I am very worried ill never be able to get past level 10 as paladins are probably the worst solo'ers in the game. On the other hand magicians are amazing solo'ers and groups wouldnt be an issue.

So my question is, is it within reason possible to level up as a paladin which i would love to be on red if im not with RL friends at all times? Or is this just not really gonna happen.

Thanks
