I would suggest you start with a class that has bind. If you don't know this game and the zones and how to get to them it is really tough playing a character that cannot bind in the zone you are playing or at least right outside the zone you will be playing in.
I know that leaves out most Melee classes, a Cleric can Melee, so does a Shaman. This game, P1999, is hard mode. Even for people that know the game.
I know a Monk gets feign death at level 17, but that is a pretty long time to get there for a noob. And you have to be skilled enough to remember to turn off attack to even FD. And if a caster is casting on you FD will fail until the spell is finished being cast. So not as easy as it sounds to FD every time.
I would play a Mage to start with to get your feet wet. They are very easy to play and really don't need much gear, same goes for a Necro. Only problem with the Necro is they are evil and not liked many places, so you will not be able to travel around much like the Mage can.
But it really just boils down to what class and race you REALLY want to play. And do that and just enjoy the game. Try a few classes but DO NOT get caught up in the having 20 alts to start with or you will never get any of them high enough to make plat. And having no plat in this game to Twink a bit is not much fun. Plus you get in a rut of playing in the same lower level zones and that gets boring.
Join a nice Guild and get involved in Guild chat. Guildies will help you out gear, plat and advice wise a lot. Welcome aboard.
