There's not really a huge RP community here, but I've run into a few people who do.
Necromancer is a good choice. They don't require a lot of gear to be powerful, the have a good amount of utility and are incredibly self-reliant. They were certainly made as a "soloing class". But Necros also have the ability to heal and give mana to others, so they're group friendly as well.
I didn't play Live back in 1999 for long either. But this is still the best MMO out there imo. It's just...older. So if you come into it expecting it to show its age, you'll be fine.
There also aren't a ton of quests like modern MMOs. You got your early level "Turn item in for Exp" repeatables and then late game hard quests.
For the most part.
I think the key difference between Classic EQ on P99 and other MMOs are: different classes are relied upon for services, that it forces others to be social and need you and vice versa.
Also, grouping is such a great experience, because the gameplay essentially has you and 5 others holding down a particular spot in a dungeon, killing mobs for long extended time. The pacing isn't so fast that you don't have time to get to know your groupmates.
It's the exact opposite of queuing up for a WoW dungeon and then having the silent tank just blaze through the whole thing in under a minute.
