What is the best option for starting anew in EQ?

[Menenolly]

If you can live without beastlords, cats and frogmen characters and enjoy using the old world cities instead of everyone hanging out in one zone with access to click ports to everywhere then play on the green server. It's free, people aren't selling things for real money and people will group with you at all levels. You also don't get that awful auto loot option that's on EQlive. Call me crazy but I want to bend over a critter when I loot something.

The only pull of EQlive for me is /melody for bards and that's not enough for me to dive into the EQlive mess.
