Erudite Magician as your starting class.
Erudite has the highest starting INT of all the races & +5 MR
Magician is an excellent farming class that requires no gear.

Day 1, my bets are on Erudite Magicians to start farming plat and gear the fastest. They get their own private starting area and they have quick access to qeynos which has the bonkers exp gnoll fang quest.
As mentioned Erudite Magician requires no gear to level. There wont be tons of items on the market in the first week of green. So you'll have this advantage over every other race/class in norrath.
You can focus on playing the game instead of fighting over fire beetles when you pick an Erudite Magician.

This brings us to another point; when rolling a toon always check it has at least 75 agility.

The avoidance bonus you get for having 75+ agility is a huge leap over that for less. Even 70-74 will have you taking a tremendous number of extra hits.

If you plan on playing magician for the life of the server, you should roll a gnome. Period. Non-gnome magicians are sacrificing a hugely beneficial ability from Kunark on in exchange for an ultimately meaningless int boost.

Is this in reference to gnomes being able to push an Eye of Zomm through a wall into dead space, making the Eye pop up at the entrance / safe point of a zone, making it easier to invite extra players to a group for Call of the Hero? (in addition to them being able to clip their vision through walls).

Roll a money making class and create that iksar monk day 1 of kunark w/ a full set of gear ready to go.

Realistically 'full set of gear' won't be available day 1. There is a good chance for a Wu's Quivering Staff though, which honestly is like 80% of what you will need.
