Questions from a Husband/Wife Duo

[Braldar]

Hey All,

Long story short, I played EQ for a few years from '99 on Rallos Zek and later on a blue server to Gates of Discord. My wife is new to video games in general and I'm trying to get her on something other than Stardew Valley and she's up to try EQ. Since it's been a while for me and she's completely new, we have some questions:

Is P99 the place for us? With P99's strict policy on multiboxing, and her having never played something that controls this way, there will be some weird movements on her part for a while. If so, she'll create an account and we'll put in for an IP exception. If not, is there someplace better for her to learn? Live is a bit overwhelming right now.

What are some good duo class combos that will have something for her to enjoy? She was leaning toward Cleric, but I'm afraid it will be more on the boring side.

Would Blue or Green be better for us as a duo?

Is there still an xp penalty for certain classes?

Is there a guide for ideal setting changes, like rerouting the movement keys?

Thanks for any help!
