Those of you considering mage... I recommend against it. They leave old bugs in from original EQ that make research broken for pets after level 34. This isn't fixed for several months in the patch timeline, and you can't buy pet spells from a vendor either. So you'll go from level 34-50 with your same pet. Not only that, but even acquiring lower level pets is a huge pain (starting at like level 20 from what I remember). Sure mage is a powerhouse if you have the pet but good luck getting it without putting all of your plat into research, and even then you'll be stuck with the level 34 pet spell all the way to 50.
This wouldn't be so bad if they'd left other, positive, Mage-related bugs in.

For instance, in classic there was a period when Mage pets used to be able to tank (which was then changed after real tanks complained). However, here on P99 they don't implement that (presumably because it'd be too hard), so the net result is a less-than-classically powerful class.
