play whatever class you want, but keep in mind the issues of timezones/playtimes. groups are quite frequent here during late afternoon/evening EST.
But if you want a class that'll shine in kunark don't make a mage... despite what people here think they really do stink in kunark compared to necros/monks/shaman. they do make a fantastic first class in classic though, and because you're an int caster that doesn't/can't quad you have no real need for int really. level about the same with no int gear as you would with int gear, so buying gear isn't a priority (other than a shovel and torch).
I went with necro and have grouped maybe once in 42 levels and don't plan on grouping till i start raiding. if played correctly solo you can level faster than you would have if you were grouping. It's not that I have an aversion or distaste of groups, but because as a necro i can go afk whenever the hell i want and come back and fear-quad kite when im FM :P my point is EQ isn't hard, and if you pick the right class and you're smart and clever enough you can get by quite easily.
