Mages?

[paravar]

Hey all,
Recently discovered P99 and loving it. Have always played a mage or nec on live servers since beginings. Started a mage and have been liking it to this point. Tried to ask some higher lvl's about the class and how they are enjoying it. Only prob is..there don't seem to be many. Tried everyday this week when server was at a pop of over 1100 and could only find 4-9 on using the 50 60 range search. I looked at every other class and besides the wizard they were too many to show.

Why are there so few magicians? I figured they were solo gods along with the nec? Heard shaman do well as does enchanter. Just wondering if should change to another class while i'm so low...lvl 8. My time will be primarily spent soloing due to time constraint with a lil grping thrown in.

Any advice appreciated!
