bare with me, i know a few have allready asked the same..

i think i have narrowed it down to the following classes/races

Ogre, SK - i think SK is an awesome class, never played one tho. (hardcore penality?)
Troll, Shaman - Really strong class i belive (no torpor, no good?)
DE, wizard - i've played Wizard on live, from pop to VOA. (good classic?)
HIE, enchanter - Did this one on RF and had a blast (borring raids, to many enc on server?)
Half Elf, Ranger - Just for the challenge
Erudite, Magician - My first char in the EQ univers (never gonna get epic?)

I have limetet playtime due to work and comute.

I want to be able to solo while LFG and do quests

Your input here: ______ - Thanks in advance

My OPINIONS below in red. I tend to focus on the positives rather than the negatives, as so many others do for some reason:

Ogre, SK - i think SK is an awesome class, never played one tho. (hardcore penality?) Yes there is a significant experience penalty here, but I loved my Shadow Knight! Play what you want and ignore the penalty. Besides, I always found it bad ass when I was a high level Shadow Knight and no one else even had the balls to level one up!
Troll, Shaman - Really strong class i belive (no torpor, no good?) Very strong race/class combo. You get regen!
DE, wizard - i've played Wizard on live, from pop to VOA. (good classic?) Wizards are pretty awesome and Dark Elves are a great race! You will be one of the only classes that can quad kite and that can port. Hello platinum!
HIE, enchanter - Did this one on RF and had a blast (borring raids, to many enc on server?) Don't worry about what others will play, especially here. Remember that only a hundred people or so vote on these player made polls and most do not come to these forums. Also remember that many people have rose tinted glasses on and believe the class is easier than they originally thought. Some drop out and re-roll. Play what you want. That being said, I had a blast with my Enchanter in groups. I do not know much about the solo route with Enchanters, but I heard it is difficult, but rewarding!
Half Elf, Ranger - Just for the challenge I have heard that Rangers in vanilla re pretty kick ass!
Erudite, Magician - My first char in the EQ univers (never gonna get epic?) Not sure about the epic, imo who cares. But this is a strong race/class combo! Magicians solo well and their magic DPS in groups is difficult to match!
