Returning to P1999, Wanna Start New

[Obxolicious]

So I last played on Project 1999 probably about a year or so ago. The highest level character I had was an 18 high elf paladin.

I wanna come back and I wanna start anew. I'm really bad at making characters. I can spend literally hours creating and deleting characters. Any suggestions what a newb should play? My favorite role in an mmo has always been healing.

Lastly I had a concern about grouping. I remember for me it was hard to find groups and that's kind of why I stopped playing. Any advice on how / where to find groups for the first few zones? What should I be doing when I can't find a group?
