New P99 Pve player questions

[Gensei]

hi i have not made a toon or finished installing the game yet but i have a few questions.

what class should i make for a first toon?

is it hard to lvl, find groups for xp or to solo?

what class can solo if groups arent to be found?

what is easiest to level.

are there many guilds around or people i can join for a community and advice or help with leveling or grouping.

i currently have been playing eq1 live and am used to how things are on there my main is a 95 monk atm. but have 91 ranger 81 sk 86 mag 68 necro 67 paladin as alts.

normally i enjoy to be dps but really anything that i can do well with surivive kill at a decent rate and not get completely burnt out by slow killing or dieing too much and can solo if or rather when i cant find a group to do anything with would be good.

up for any suggestions, info, group or guild invites havent made a toon yet still trying to figure out what to do to get the game installed all i know atm is i need to dl titanium other than that i have no clue so if you can shed light on that id appreciate it too ty for your time have fun in norrath.
