Nearly 15 years of gaming, and I'm back where I started????? AHHHH!

No, seriously, think about it! EQ was probably a lot of our first games. For me, it was my 2nd, Ultima Online sort of absorbed my life completely around the same time. My brother and I went to EQ after tram was released on UO. We figured if they were going to turn it into a PVE game, go to a better PVE game. I was 10 or 11 years old? I don't remember anything other than getting lost a lot.

I've played just about every major title released since that time. I've had fun here and there, but games seem to of gone in a different direction since the days of EQ. I'm not even entirely sure whats different about them, but its something. The fact that I can get on a game as old as EQ and have more fun is odd to me since most of these new titles have a lot of the same properties of EQ. But, then again, something is just different...

ANYWHO!!! I'm starting fresh on Project 1999 and I'm completely lost (ONCE AGAIN). Any tips of a good starting character? I've been hearing a lot of people say that some of these classes are gear dependent. Is there a certain class I should stay away from as a fresh start guy? Any good guides out there on starting stats and such?

THANKS!!
