for what it's worth, every person i've ever started from scratch on EQ has been a mage.

Melee have to deal with positioning, and melee range and mob fleeing. Which for somebody without the keyboard/mouse familiarity, can really frustrate you.

Casters probably the best bet, and wizzy or mage are the most simple form to start with.

I would say day one you will have trouble no matter what. If the kids aren't too frustrated I would say give it another shot and just have them play while you watch over their shoulders to give advice. Just getting the controls down may take a while and at low lvl they shouldn't have much need of healing at first.

If you do want to switch I would say gfay area is the next best bet. Half elf, wood elf and high elf all in the same starting exp zone. Felwithe being less likely for deaths due to falling [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
