New to Project 1999, Hi!

I use to play Everquest back during Velious and am excited to find this server. I have often thought it would have been ideal for the game to stop at Velious due to the weird theme of SoL and the mixed graphics.

I don't know what to play. I really don't want to set on my rumpus and med or heal people. I enjoy some melee, in most games I play a tank. Would it be unwise to play a warrior from the get go? I know I am asking for a tough road having no characters but I really would love to be on the front line.

If I choose to play a warrior, I thought about playing an Ogre or Troll. I like the evil races alot. I am not sure if deity matters for a warrior. I have been surfing the forums, It looks like I want to pour all my starting points into dex and try to find gear later that has AC > STAM. Am I correct in thinking this?

I also guess I need to save for some obsidian shards from what I am reading. This should be a fun journey. My wish is to experience all the dungeons. This might be a crazy goal, but I missed so many the first time I played this game. Wish me luck!
