A lot of good advice in this thread. Most,I think, geared toward players who have played before and who will play a fair amount. Some things to consider-
1- You will not be as good at this game as other people. This game takes time to learn. I would not worry to much about sustained dps, as you will pull slowly. Burst Dps,cc, healing is what you want, as you'll pull slowly and probably have bad pulls too. Not dying is important.
2- You will be poor, so avoid gear intensive classes. Particularly melee classes, especially tanks. However, you really should have a tank and paladin is good due to cheaper gear since there are few paladins on the server. Mage is a great dps class that requires no gearing.
3- You will level slowly. It will be painful if you're used to other mmos or if you've never played one. hybrid penalties can make a difference, but mostly play classes you enjoy. The low levels are the most fun imo.
Recommended setup-
cleric... dwarf?
Paladin.. dwarf?
mage...eru
enc...de
monk..hum
necro...de
can put mage again, but included necro for variety. I would not worry about a porter, as that's not until 29 anyway, and if you're playing once a week that will be forever. You'll have good dps, require minimal gearing, have backup falls,cc, monk can off tank, and few hybrid penalties. If you think sow is a big deal you can swap in druid or shaman somewhere.
