If your only reason to roll a caster is to make money to twink a melee...I would go druid. Get your ports, bind at KC and just run ports all day long. That will be your best bet for money imo.

Pretty much this.
Since you asked about Mages in particular though, they're still plenty powerful. The pet focus items are working properly (at level 4 even), and sword of runes is correctly doing damage to all targets (this wasn't fixed until later). They're very welcome as dps in groups, go figure.
I think you should probably mull over the bigger picture when it comes to character choice by factoring in Velious. P 1999 is supposedly going to get Velious launched in 4-5 months, give or take a few. Certain classes will really take off then (hybrid penalty of -40% is nuked), and others will retain their shortcomings (necromancers still won't have DoT's stacking on a target).
Pick carefully.
