least played and thanks
 
Thanks for making this possible. I recently heard about this a few days ago and already go this up and running and can't wait to dive into the game that got me into MMO's. As such now that im a lot older and understand things I like to play underdogs so what would be a least played class here? Yes i know its private server but still something I like to do personally.

I've only been here a short time myself; as I discovered this server around October last year.
From what I've seen, the bottom 2 classes that are least played would be Wizard and Ranger.

Wizard seems to be an underdog because the don't contribute enough sustained DPS in group settings. Basically you blow things up for a few pulls, then sit and meditate for a few pulls, where just about everyone else can keep damaging things while you can't. They also have no spell crit in this version of EQ.
Although their ports are very handy and occasionally get requested by players, most people seek out Druids for ports because of the added SoW and other buffs they can provide.

Ranger seems to be an underdog because of the average-to-low DPS rate, chain armor limitation, and terrible excuse for bow skills. They can spike some decent DPS but can't take the aggro once they get it because of low armor rating; which also makes then bad tanks.
Their druid spells are only marginally useful and they don't get SoW until so late in the game that no one cares by then because they either have other means to boost speed or they are in groups with Druids or Shaman anyway.
Also, their 40% exp penalty for being a hybrid spans across groups, so they basically are sharing their exp cut with everyone else who basically doesn't want it, thus making all hybrids less popular.

Even though I like both these classes, these are the reasons I've personally witnessed as to why I rate them as the bottom 2 for least popular.

Good luck, have fun, and welcome to P1999. :D

Don't come across too many bards or warriors either.

If you really want to be unique snowflake, it's not as much about the class. It's more for the gender and race combination of the class you pick. Be a female Gnome Warrior or something like that.

I've never seen a female human necro

can humans be rogues? I'd like to see that

Paladin, at 60 are under-repped and under-appreciated. Same with wizards, except it's impossible to under-appreciate a wizard
