Considering Red

[Trosh]

Heya guys,

Considering trying out a toon on red, but wanted to to a bit of research before hand.

I've never been a big PvP kind of person (except perhaps in EVE) and when it comes to EQ I'm a complete pvp noob.. So I have a few questions if anyone is able to help me out!

What classes are totally broken for pvp, especially for a newer player?
What classes are fun to solo with? (but not necro, I have been playing that on blue)
What tips for a new player do you have?
How does getting murdered work as far as loot, exp loss, tears, etc?
What pvp server specific things do I need to learn to do or look out for?

Any tips or hints would be great!

I was considering Druid or Wizard to have the ability to move around easily, but I don't know how well they hold up in pvp.. A warrior or ranger would be fun, but I have a feeling that I'd want to shoot myself trying to solo them to a high level..

What are the rules for fighting other players? I've seen one post that says +/- 4 lvl, but then another post had it so the level spread increased with levels?

Thanks ahead of time for any assistance!
