TBH, I think you will find wizards quite difficult (some would rather say "challenging," but not me) on this server, just as they were in classic to some extent. When I first started on p99 I re-rolled my first main from live--a dark elf wizard. I immediately noticed that not only did I have trouble finding groups (because groups would rather have a mage who can both nuke AND provide a pet for extra DPS) but I also had trouble going solo (just like on EQ Live). I actually recently asked for people's advice on re-rolling a wizard (here is that thread: "
How Well Can Wizards Solo?"). Wizards are particularly excellent for raids--the trouble is getting them a high enough level to raid (I think you will find that many guilds list wizards as a "high demand" class). In my experience, though, that is really the only place where there is demand for the class. I quickly gave in and ended up re-rolling my wizard as a mage.
