I take it the 1v1 scenario really isn't as common as I assumed? :P
Druid interests me for exactly the reasons mentioned. However, i was't sure how well any of the classes would do in a PvP situation. If the group battle scenario is more common, that would make me feel more comfortable as a mage tbh. I have a lot of fun on my necro on blue so I'd be willing to consider it as well.

to add on that: if you happen to be very familiar with a melee class from your time on blue, beit a monk rogue sk warr, whatever. you can do well in pvp in the long run. you'll have a harder time in the early game due to being gear dependant, but we have an exp mod. later you'll have the benefit of knowing how to play your class at high level
tho... that mostly flies out the window with pvp as there are too many differences between npc and players | ||

yea if your question was, how do i start playnig this server. your first task is going to be to make friends, not try to pvp. your going to want to make a class that gets groups easily.
once you have done about 50 peoples epics, i'd say then u can make your own pvp character (rogue/sk) and gear it up with the help of your friends. | ||

I guess I say 1v1 just in the sense that I want a fighting chance to win, if i get jumped at some point. So lets say Druid vs Necro as far as which to play. Ignoring which would be more fun to play, which would likely be a better PvP class?

you'll always have a chance to win 1v1 with whatever class you play. but there are gambling odds at play. a big part of it is knowing who you're fighting. is it a twink? is it an empire gear dude? whether or not you take your chances it depends on a wide variety of factors, which is the whole experience of r99.
let's say, you dont care, youre there farming a bracer of the hidden or ggr in loio. you're monitering /who because you're on a red server. you probably have a directional key bound to it. you recognize a name come in that is known for screwing pups over. your choices? keep your camp, hold your ground, see what happens, run like a cowardly dog? that's what r99 is about in the end it has little to do with classes but more to do with names. but at the beginning when you don't know names, you just need to have what it takes to defend yourself or gate. that already narrows the classes quite a bit if you're the gating variety. if you're asking druid vs necro, all you need to do is roll one and find out. the answer is differnt if you're asking high versus low level. assuming you're a well-tuned blue machine, necros arent good in pvp at high level, simply because dots arent as good as dd for various reasons. youll figure it all out. but as a lowbie necro.... if thats all you want to do... you can wreck other lowbies with stacking dots before they know whats up. its a good class AND with experience, you'll find they have usage at high level pvp too.. its just not in dotting much. hope that helps. i vouch druid for lowbie | ||

I wouldn't recommend mage as first PvP character. Druid / wiz / shaman / necro for sure. I find necro particularly fun to PvP with.
