Thinking of starting on red

[snyder43]

There are only a few guilds on Red and finding a niche will be easy with the low server population.

Sanctuary - Leveling guild
Apex - Raid guild
Heretic - Raid guild
..and then a bunch of little PvP guilds

If you're looking to raid, the two most sought-after classes are rogues and clerics. However, if you're not playing prime time, I would not level one of these up first, since soloing is a pain with either class, and you're going to have a hard time finding groups during off hours.

Enchanters and shaman definitely have their uses in raids, and leveling either one up isn't too bad. Druids can pretty much level up naked without a problem, and also have the benefit of being able to port around for groups. However, recently there have been several people offering free ports to newbs across the server. They also are good for raid buffing and patch heals. Necros and mages can pretty much level up solo. Necros can twitch clerics and mages can CotH and drop mod rods for raids.

Honestly, with the low population on Red, as long as you know how to play your class, you will be an asset. So in the end, just play what you like!
