Default Best newbie friendly class/race?(casual player)

Ok quick rundown..
I started eq right after kunark came out. I played a monk, then later on played a beastlord. Eq1 was my first mmorpg, i spent from kunark to just after luclin wandering around not knowing what the hell i was doing playing a bazillion alts never reached max lvl ect ect.

So now im older,wiser, and better at mmorpgs. Im looking to get back into eq but i need help deciding on my class. So im looking for a class and race thats great for a born again newbie, someone that will play about 3 hoursish roughly a day and about 10 hours on the weekend. I would like to group occasionaly if the oppurtunity presents itself. I really dont think im going to raid unless im brought in as a pug and it fits my play time. So....does anyone have any sugestions of a good class/race that fits that? i greatly appreciate the help. thank you

Druid...anything. Halfling if you just want the exp bonus. As casters go, they are pretty easy.

For a TRUE newbie, I'd say wood elf druid. Halfling xp bonus is nice, but hardly anyone plays in Misty Thicket, and it's a long run to EC. Gfay is a much better newbie garden at this point. Furthermore, Crushbone Belts sell a hell of a lot better than Runneyeye Warbeads.

If you can get a free port and bind, more power to you. And if me saying that there really aren't many on P99 who would do that for you makes them offer to do so simply to gainsay me, then I'm more than happy to type it.

Like joining the other 600 mages or necro's? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A druid is a solid choice, even if you'll be one of many. You can solo, you can heal and nuke in groups and bring lots of utility with you. A good idea would be to see if you can find a buddy who'd like to play with you. Team up as a tank/healer combo and you're good to go!

Halfling (any class)
Halflings are known to have been favored by the gods, granting them quick leveling, stunningly good looks and very attractive, hairy feet. They are by far the superior race without question, and anyone who isn't one should be jealous.

So pick Halfling.

They are also delicious when roasted over a slow fire. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Have to echo this, IMHO it's your best choice for an easy re-introduction to EQ.

I wouldn't worry too much about what class breakdown is on the server, with time people will gravitate towards what suits their playstyle best. When that happens, it's best to already be playing your preference. Power gamers will have a set of mains by then anyway, no point in trying to keep up.

Welcome, and enjoy!
