A Pally really is not that great at DPS. Solo they are pretty slow except to un-dead. But most Tanks really aren't, even a Warrior. Tanks are meat puppets to have mobs beat on them mostly and keep mobs off the healer and casters. A Pally is better at agro than a Warrior in this game now. Taunt really does't work well.
A Pally is better at pulling in Velious when it comes out than even a Monk at times. But if the mob resists Lull line a lot than Pally is not much good. The worse part is the Hybrid penality at 40%. It effects your group also. So a lot of people don't want Hybrids in their group. Pally's are the worse class in P1999 for people giving up on them.
The main problem is your friends will all be level 50 and you will be level 37 or so. So you can't group with them. A Tank has to be the highest person in a group to be good. They can't hit Red mobs to them to save their ass. So DPS goes to shit and so does agro and so the Cleric and Chanter dies. And then you are a no good horses ass.
A Pally on paper is a great class, but not on this server at the time. GL. And on Raids if you are not a Ogre Warrior you are not going to be the Tank. No way. It is the Frontal Stun immunity and usually just better AC and Sta stats that will dicitate them as the best.
But don't get me wrong. I have been as big a complainer of the STUPID HYBRID XP penality on here as anyone. That to me is one of the biggest problems on P1999. There are no damn Tanks at lower to mid levels on here. And God help you if you want to play a Tank on the Red Server. So yes stick it out on your Pally for the good of the server lol.
