I have always enjoyed Misty as a starting zone for being both protected from random high level spawns such as the vengefuls in Everfrost and having very low level wolves for access to pelts for cheap and easy armor pieces.Sure it is tattered leather but it beats cloth and tailoring a full set of tattered at low level isn't very difficult or expensive and can last a bit in a classic setting.Once you reach the level for Runnyeye it can be either a great zone for xp or a frustration depending on the zone population and any trains but danger can be minimized by sticking to a spot like Maelstrom pointed out.
