The easiest and simplest class to play?

There is no way a halfling druid is KOS in Rivervale or Misty. So, right clicking on the guards should not cause them to kill you. You must have right-click mapped to auto attack. If true, turn that off immediately.

When hunting in Misty Thicket at level 1, stay close to the huts just near the tunnel back to Rivervale. Really, at level 1, you should be doing some newbie quests from the Druid guild to deliver food and such to the guards. That will level you up to 2 without risk, THEN you can go out into Misty.

Create a macro key for Sense Heading and mash it at all times (or map to a movement key, but that is an advanced technique). By constantly mashing the Sense Heading macro, even while sitting, you should be able to max the skill out (200) by level 4. That skill can save your bacon for corpse runs and just getting familiar with zones.

Create a macro called LOC that does a /LOC on each line available in the macro editor. When you think you are going to die, hit the button. You will then have a record of WHERE you died. Also, using the LOC macro when in an unfamiliar or dark zone can help you get oriented as you move around. The first number is North/South, the second number is East/West. For East/West, negative numbers are to the East, which seems backwards to most people I would think.

Yeah, your experiences are very memorable to most. Truly wish we could all go back to such innocence.
