warriors are hard in vanilla. you're a totally gear dependent class with basically no gear available except for a few items until later on.
if you truly love the group game and tanking you would probably do better with a knight class...if you are thinking of doing any raid game tanking then warrior.
a significant amount of people will likely roll a non-warrior easier class so that they can farm some basic stuff to twink out a naked warrior to help get him rolling. One of the ironies of old school vanilla EQ is that the first 15 levels or so are actually some of the hardest (and boring) to push through as you advance, especially on a server launch that drops thousands of people into the same newbie zones chasing lvl 1 bats...playing a warrior through them can be stinky if you don't have a plan.
