Ranger will be hard. It is a great class, but you will have trouble finding exp grps for grinding out your levels.
If your life is such, that you don't have hours to try to find a group, don't do a ranger unless you jyst want to mainly solo, find a group now and then, and also take a looooong time to get to 50, never mind 60.
One other factor to consider. You only start to kill stuff and het items that can earn you plat as you get higher in level. Many players on this server first rolled a character that a) can easily get groups for exp and b) can therefore level pretty fast or c) rolled a super strong solo class like a necro or mage (or enchanter if you want to lead a charmed life) to earn some plats to then have some bank to start out their real main character.
But you know what? This server is moving slow. Kunark has been out for years on p99 now. It stops at Velious, which I doubt will come out in 2015. So the slow game is actually no big deal as long as you have patience. So, you absolutely can do a ranger, as long as you don;t mind it's gonna take a good long while to get to 55+
The payoff will always be, you will be one of not many high level ranger mains. Sure, there are ranger alts. But not many ranger mains. ***If you have the time to put in and don't mind the long haul*** go for ranger, sure.
Rangers can do a lot. People who know the game like rangers. But it is a serious challenge because of the exp penalty and that people seldom want rangers in some of the best exp camps (they think they are racing somewhere, I guess)
Or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, you could be a cleric. Clerics are always in need, and when you hit 55+ everyone will want you to join their guild. The only problem with playing a cleric is that -- a rumor anyway -- is that all they do is cyber between casting CH.
