More depends on what you play and how you play it. imo casters can be fairly expensive up front, considering gear and spells, for starting out. I think priests are the cheap date throughout the game. Melee and tanks start cheap, get more expensive over time. But that is all in general, as it still depends on how you play them. Race is a consideration too depending on armor size etc.

I don't think I agree with this. All my casters and priests basically get by with what they collect from their adventures. My enchanter in particular was able to (mostly) solo up to his current level (a little grouping, but the rest charm/animation soloing) with nothing but stuff he got on drops and a stein of moggok he quested for himself. You can pick and choose which spells you acquire if you're feeling a money pinch on the int casters.
My tanks (shadowknight, paladin, warrior), on the other hand, have all required a pretty reasonable investment in gear at some point early on. I scraped by to 13 on the warrior with rawhide, a vendor long sword, and vendor shield, but I was really feeling it, and ended up sinking a bunch of cash into him to get him up to speed on things like crafted armor and decent 1h weapons. Contrast this to the enchanter where I have been doing, and still can do, awesome things even at 30 in damask and other junk gear.
So yeah, I'd go with the initial advice and try some caster or priest class, ideally with a pet, if this is your first character on the server. My first was the aforementioned shadowknight, and I don't regret it, but I did make things harder for myself by picking one. I rolled a mage recently and by selling bone chips for 5p a stack I was able to get every spell I wanted early going and just keep the ball rolling without any other investments.
