But if you do want to play one, these fine humans (totally real people, not bots) are right and you should level another "farming" class.

Druid to 39 or 44 (easy to push to 44 if you can find groups in CT) can make great money just selling ports.

Necro/mage can make great money in the early 30's killing halfing guards or HHK guards.

Honestly, if you can just power through and push a Ranger to 27/28 you can make fantastic money killing the Brutes in the cave outside the Dalnir entrance in Warslik's Woods.

Downside is no merchant/bank anywhere near you, though there is one greedy merchant in OT for food/water.
Is bow kiting viable on a fresh classic server? I don't know for certain but I don't think so. If the answer is no, Rangers are probably the worst/hardest toon to start with. Pretty much every melee is complete crap in classic 1-50 before plane of sky. Rangers are the weakest melee class overall in terms of DPS/Tankability/etc. Add in the exp penalty and you have one very bad combination to start a server with.

Not that starting a ranger is WRONG, play whatever you want. But it's probably the hardest choice out of all of them.
