This game takes some getting used to. Can always use more clerics so I encourage you to stick it out. You really just need to get in groups... social aspect is a big part of eq anyway.

This. Clerics are tailored perfectly for being the core of groups, and they excel incredibly well there. And as Lojik said, the social aspect is one of the best parts of EQ, the reliance on other players is a major factor in (Classic) EQ.

That being said clerics can definitely solo all the way to 60 if they'd like, picking specific undead location where they turn into wizards with heals. And down the line cleric/chanter dream-teams can pull off amazing feats of named mob destruction, but truthfully its the group play where clerics shine. So go shout some /ooc and send some tells around CB or Orc Hill or even in EC where the buffs run rampant and get in on some group action, you will certainly be well received.
