What will be your primary class on Green?

The only reason monk numbers kinda low is because iksars are so much better.

It's tough because vanilla monk with basically zero gear is some good frickin gaming and it never comes back. Once kubark drops you are geared to the teeth for life.

Yeah, monk is probably the most surprising result here. That's a class that needs NOTHING to level. No armor, no weapons. You just go .....

A naked Monk is better than any other naked melee, but still pales in comparison to a naked caster. Good Monk gear is so cheap on Blue that it completely changes the class at lower levels. A 50pp Wu's staff alone can probably triple your leveling speed compared to bare fists (which literally don't even get in the ballpark of Kunark ratios until level 50). Then factor in no Iksar racials and human night blindness and it's no surprise most people will take a pass on Monks til Kunark. Even a modestly twinked Iksar Monk with a 50 Druid powerleveling him can solo to 50 in under a week and be good to go for Kunark and Velious.
