I am brand new to p99 and have little experience/memories of playing everquest, I am interested in rolling up a rogue but have vague recollections about the class being impossible to do anything with solo and having a high gear requirement to remain relevant. Is it feasible to play as a rogue from the get go or will it just be a trial in masochism? Would it just be better to begin a more independent class such as a necromancer and just eventually work towards supplementing a rogue? I guess I am just worried about not being able to find a group.

i would recommend a barb rogue to a newb for sure. when i came to p99 in january, i first rolled a monk and i did just fine. i compare to a monk because many would say monk gear is more expensive than rogue gear and on top of that you cant really collect loot without taking an AC penalty. in groups you will make much more money for one. also decent rogue weapons are pretty cheap which will mean you can do decent dps for little cost and by being a barb you will have high starting strength so you will hit as hard as twinked rogues with lower base strength. for example crystalline spear is like 1k plat and its 13/30, and 13 is the highest dmg rating for a piercer aside from epic. i know 1k seems like a lot but you can make that fairly quickly.
hope this helped.
