Cleric and Mage are both good options as others have said. Both very low APM, both very welcome in groups. Since you know very little/nothing about the game, a brief primer on how each class plays:
Cleric: You are the best healer in the game, and in grouping situations will spend most of your time sitting down medding and casting the occasional heal. Clerics are always in demand for endgame raiding, as well. Not only do Clerics have the best heals in the game, they have very powerful buffs, resurrection spells to restore lost XP from death, strong CC (crowd control) spells and a line of undead nukes that allow them to solo undead mobs fairly well if no group is available. Clerics also need very little gear to be effective while leveling since they are mostly just healing other players. A really great choice if you want a low APM class that is social and enjoy helping other players.
Mage: You are basically a one-trick pony. You summon a powerful pet and it fights mobs for you. The Mage is a fairly limited, specialist class, but they are exceptionally good DPS in a group setting with their pet, damage shield and nukes. They can solo for XP very well from 1-50 but fall off a bit 50-60 due to increased HP of mobs and their complete lack of any CC. They are also in less demand for endgame raiding than Clerics, although they fill a niche role there as well. Like Clerics, Mages require very little gear to level effectively, since your summoned pet is doing the heavy lifting. The Mage is a good choice if you want a low APM class and enjoy doing a lot of damage and/or controlling a pet.
If you're on the fence between the two, I would go Cleric.
