Well, I'm going to be honest, just tried a Dwarf Rogue on Green beta server.
Great stats. Great initial quest options. Managed a blackened iron mail by level 6 via quests. And killed lots of goblins for beers.

Not such a bad deal, really!
I got to 13 on a human rogue and it went pretty well even though we don't have evade yet. The ability to do corpse recovery in stealth even at that level is really really handy in a dungeon like Blackburrow. The backstabbing for 30dmg was pretty nice too.

It took me forever to decide on a race. Ultimately I like Qeynos, I like being able to go to Neriak to some degree and humans have middle ground stats (100str with 25 starting pts). Dwarfs have a lot going for them though.

Lets be crazy together.

I started on blue in 2010. I rolled Barb rogue and leveled up without twinking. Ran from Halas to Freeport and got a bind at level 1.
I used a Gloom poon until I got Eyerazzia from Fear. It's entirely possible but it was slow going. I think I was in my 30s when Kunark dropped.

I'm going Gnome Rogue as well for green. The 25STA/5STR is going to be rough for a while (65STR). But once in Kunark gear I'll easily hit 255 STR with Shaman buffs.
Main reasons for going gnome are: wall hacks, small race (no shrink needed), tinkering, velious fashionquest helm, and it's the hardest illusion mask to get.
Those might not be the best reasons but that's what made me choose over any of the other races.

Gnome due to difficulty of mask is a good enough reason alone; good luck! I’m leaning Human for fashionquest, respectable starting stats and the fact there is NO human mask to obtain.

I think your nuts for going 25STA/5STR on a gnome.

This thread is toxic, I've decided to roll a rogue as well. Going to be a barbarian like I did on beta.

Up to level 10 on green beta. Damage output just tripled. I can almost solo blues now.

Alcohol tolerance 5, and rising.

- the drunken dwarf rogue.

I was thinking of a rogue for green too but man after playing the beta. Those mobs are tough. Can a rogue reliably manage alone?

The correct answer is "no".
Back in classic, melee weren't soloing past 10 with typical starting gear.
If you were decently geared, you could maybe make it to 20+. That's it. And that's *NORMAL*. This is, ultimately, a grouping game.

Fungi Rogues with epics at level 1 soloing 1-50+ is not normal, but unfortunately with mudflation that's what Blue is like.
Green will be a very different beast.

You'll be wearing patchwork/tattered for the most part and wielding tarnished weapons until your early teens, and then fighting over raw leather and bronze weapons. Ringmail/banded and magical weapons if you're lucky.

It's really not until LGuk that you get properly twinked out.
