Old player thinking of going Red instead of Blue.

[itzmatt86]

Hey folks, short version is I played eq long ago, found p99 last week and will be playing when I come home from offshore. Been deciding between red or blue. I work 7 / 7 and have a wife and a 4 month old now so my playtime is very limited. If I rolled blue i was going to do bard, if red I was thinking bard shaman or paladin. Any opinions? Would I have enough playtime to actually do things, or would I just be corpse running a lot?
