My friend sucked me back into this game after a ~26 year hiatus

Well met, travelers! I saw a thread regarding younger players, and interestingly enough - my friend who is in his 30s, told me about this project. No idea where he'd heard of it. I think he's been playing for a while now.

I managed to get it up and working - I even have my original cloth map somewhere from back in the day.

My friends were all LAN gaming back then (circa 1999) and someone in our group informed me: "Go buy this game. Don't question it!" So I did - and got sucked in pretty hard.

We actually played on the Test server, in hopes of avoiding a lot of the problems the other servers had. Eventually, they wiped test, and that was the excuse I needed to quit cold turkey. I was dating my future wife at the time, so it seemed like a good idea.

Anyway, I was Ergo Soulhealer, High Elf cleric. And it's possible you've even seen my Qeynos sewers map which is still floating around the internet. I diligently created that, to scale, with Microsoft Paint.

You'll find me currently in Butcherblock with an (almost) level 5 wood elf Bard named Aoeryn.

But - some questions!!

Are there classes which are sorely under-represented? I might be tempted to make another high elf cleric if people are like "OMG, PLEASE!!" lol

Second question - are there crafting skills that are sorely under-represented? I don't recall ever delving into crafting much when I played back in the day, but I'd be interested in giving that a try.

OP are you looking for answers only specific to Red server?

I'm on Green.

I suspect the answers to both are "we need everything!" as the most I've seen online is somewhere north of 700 people, and I'm assuming those are spread out across 50 (55?) levels.

I think you have the right idea with clerics. I am continually impressed by how good this class is. The raiding part is obvious, you can't win without them. But more so in the group scene, the amount of utility they have is nearly on par with enchanters.
