Which class for a very new player?

[Bones]

Mage I agree with its probably the best starter char. Enchanter on the other hand is quite a bit more complex and difficult to play. Maybe paladin, sk, ranger, druid.

Cleric is probably the best easy party class. Everyone likes them, they are always in demand, you will never be expected to pull, and your job is fairly simple, buffing and healing. You'll have to group all the time, though.

Other classes that are in high demand are slightly more complicated, like the enchanter or shaman. Tanks are also in demand (warrior, paladin, shadowknight), but you'll have to pull and pick targets.

Mage is OK, easy to play, but not really in demand in groups. People won't turn you away though. Necros are kind of the same way, more complicated to play and with a more varied tool chest.

Every other class either has a surplus (monk, rogue) or aren't as good for various other reasons (wizard, ranger, druid).

Oh, and bards. They have a bad rep on this server from swarm kiting and they are complicated to play, but they are awesome in groups. I wouldn't recommend them for your first character, though; you'll have a lot of hatred to overcome.

I would roll necro. Need hardly any gear and get stronger and stronger as you level. Read some guides on caster subforum and check out project 1999 wiki for gear, upcoming spells and also hunting guides.

If you're confused or need to ask questions go to east commonlands and ask for advice or help. Hopefully whatever class you pick, you can find a high level of that class to give you some tips.

Necro or most caster classes are solo friendly and most are good at farming plat/items. Good luck with whatever class you pick.

This is true. Necros are the easiest characters to play by far. Mage is also a good choice. Both require almost no gear getting started.

I'd also suggest playing a wizard or druid. They're a little tougher to get off the ground, but at higher levels you'll be welcome in groups as well as being able to solo.
