Is it worth starting now?

The server has been at kunark for like 4 years so all but Best-In-Slot items are plentiful and fairly cheap. Plat is also very easy to make on this server due to the fact that there is so much of it. My best advice is for your first character either play a class that isn't gear dependant but is highly desirable in groups (cleric and enchanter are good choices), a class that can solo very well and farm plat (shaman, necro, druid, enchanter), or a class that can port (wizard, druid).
