druid is a very creatively and socially demanding class. they're designed as a "jack of all trades" class, but effectively scale to "sufficiently good at all trades," and their gearing choice between a support druid emphasizing mana versus a charm druid emphasizing tank is probably the most dramatic in everquest. so is their power ceiling. your average joe druid is basically a port-and-potg bot, scaling up with appropriate gear and tactics to where a druid can solo the entire Kael arena or out-dps a rogue while performing multiple other roles. it's hard not to fall in love with that kind of raw potential.
as a druid you need little to nothing while people constantly need things from you. small and big. you also have incredible quality of life. get bored, or everything is camped? port somewhere else. group need a rep? pick them up. poor? money rains like manna from the heavens relative to your level and power almost immediately: selling ports, binding in camp and porting to vendor, powerleveling.
the main downside is really that seven years of Kunark, an expansion where druids objectively suck relatively large amounts of ass, has created an attitude that druids just suck relatively large amounts of ass in general that you need to overcome on a personal reputation basis. which isn't really that hard since velious druids are objectively very powerful, but it's somewhat demotivating at first and an obstacle all the same.

This very much.
Druid is a fun, fun, fun class.
Esp. once you get their clickies going.
