Brand new to the game!

[Trexller]

Welcome to Project 1999!

while i would always advise that people play the race/class combo that they will enjoy the most, I will also mention that starting fresh as a non-tank melee will have some hurdles to overcome.

Rogues, even when geared decently, still don't avoid taking damage very well, so you are stuck grouping for experience until forever. Rogues by design are meant to be played with others who can maintain the mob's attention while the rogue backstabs for sweet dps.

You may find the starting experience to be alot smoother if you were to make your first character a pet class like a magician or necro. Magician is very easy to learn, Necromancer a little bit tougher.

These classes are great for solo play, and grouping. On top of that flexibility, you will be able to use your pet class to farm items and generate plat to buy items for your pure melee characters.

Of course, I don't mean to sway you from starting with a rogue, im just offering this EQ veteran's opinion on starting fresh on a new server.
