Basically all the casters have decent solo ability and melee do not, but p99 wiki has alot of good info as samwise mentioned. Druids are great soloers ability to root/snare with DoTs and nukes or to use AE nukes to quad kite. They are pretty mediocre group members and usually serve as either a bad cleric or a bad wizard in a group, but on occasion their versatility can filll a nice gap in a group since they can snare, root, heal, nuke, buff, and port/evac(if the group wants to go somewhere else or escape a bad pull). PvP wise druids have alot of upside: spells that are hard to resist, track, ports, dots to counter zone dancing, pretty good nukes that are not magic based, root/snare(although these are resisted easily by someone with decent mr), but once you get going I am sure some real druids can give you better advice on pvping as a druid.
You should be warned if you never played classic eq that many aspects of the game are more harsh than other games. Traveling is pretty difficult for anyone other than a wizard or druid, death penalties are pretty big and leveling takes time(although this server has an xp bonus relative to classic xp it is still slower than what some seem accustomed too). That said I think that the death penalty makes fighting more intense/enjoyable and the slower xp rate makes the journey through the levels a bigger part of the game and there are fun things to do other than get max level and raid.
