Join a great guild.

Classic era on green is going to suck. Level 50 cap is unkind to warriors. You won't get disciplines until Kunark. You're going to struggle to hold aggro even against rogues using tarnished weapons, and a lot of casters are going to be making the transition from twinked on blue groups to fresh groups on green, so are going to probably have issues with threat management and dumping mana on nukes until OOM while not having a clue and screaming at you for not being able to hold threat against their 500 point chain nukes.

You'll be using lackluster weapons like gnoll hide lariats and obsidian shards for threat until you can maybe get lucky and get some SSoYs. I did classic era here for the most part, and was able to quest all of my crafted armor, and got really lucky by getting a FBSS on my first ghoul camp. Weapons were a bit rougher. SSoYs were incredibly overpriced here for what they did.

Most warrior gear otherwise is going to be horrifyingly overpriced compared to other classes' gear. Skills will also be a mess for you, whereas equivalent monks are going to be skilling up steadily to 50. Expect to get a lot of mileage out of bronze, patchwork, and ringmail/banded.

Even Kunark isn't going to be that wonderful for a warrior on green unless you are in a higher end guild and get in on the ground floor of stuff before it is taken out, like Ringed Mace of Ykesha, Blade of the Black Dragon Eye, stuff like that. Will probably end up using Warclubs of Ykesha and the old Sarnak Warhammer/Silken Whip combo for a long time.

Topgunben hit it on the head really well. Can't take risks others can, and you'll be in zones for exp longer than other classes will when the exp gets kinda meh. Bind wounds at max is a must. Bandages all the time.

It gets better in Velious, but that's a long ways off on green.

Your big advantage will be no shared hybrid exp penalty compared to other tank classes and for the most part, people will generally be aware that warriors suck, so they typically will take pity on you.
