w/o funds, soloing is going to be hard on both classes.
Instead, play which class you enjoy the most!

This isnt necessarily true monks can solo without high end gear it just takes effort and actually using skills that arent as necessary if you have a fungi, haste item, and weapons. Work up tailoring make your own bandages and armor as you go. Save all money and only buy food as necessary and then buy a piece of cured/Wu's at a time and later do whatever you want with weapons. The most dangerous part about monks is failed mend/fd and the fact that you have no speed modification.
If you play Iksar you regen faster but get the xp penalty. Also there are people who are nice enough to give new players items to help them so you can probably get magic gloves for free just for running to WW since they rot at Gnachrist the Destroyer camp regularly or used to. Human you have the most options of everything from xp camps to banking and selling also the easiest leveling xpwise.
Something twinked Monks also dont pay attention to is weight. Which affects their AC after a point at lower levels the stuff your carrying can have a large impact. I suggest in pretty much every thread convert any trash loot and coin into gems as soon as possible. They usually have the best resale value to vendors and can be used for utility purposes like rez and port. They weigh almost nothing and stack so they make the perfect currency.
As stated above play the class you enjoy. Dont be afraid to start a character of each class in different races until you find the one you just really enjoy playing. Focus on the play itself and dont worry about the pixels until later. Meet people and get to know them. Make friends that 10-12 years from now if your still playing online games you may run into again and want to hang out with. Thats what I did and had a blast the second time around too.
Sorry for the above if you have been playing for a while I didnt notice if you were talking about just starting another toon or a new account and new to server.
