There's (misguided) hate on this server because of the hybrid class xp penalty. People think that the hybrid classes are sucking xp from the group, so they hate on all hybrids in groups. On P1999 you basically have two people: the ultra fungi-lvl 1 epic twink and the new player that is wearing nothing. New players aren't going to care, but twinks won't want to group with you (honestly, the ultra twinks are the worst encounters I have had on this server, so screw em)
THAT SAID
There is a huge lack of tanks on this server. There are no SKs or paladins because of hybrid hate, and there are no warriors because they are relatively boring/awful first characters because of the gear dependence. If you like to group, there will be people looking for you in the popular zones (usually the ones with the highest ZEM or zone experience modifier). *SO* many times groups have just gone awfully because we only had a lowbie warrior that can't taunt/proc well yet, and the mob just goes from caster to caster.
Make what you want. Just realize that people on the forums are most likely people who have been playing here a lot and a long time.
