Choosing the Best Class for Your Playing Style

Thank you for your answers.

It sounds like both I and my relative can have an account from the same ISP. an exception is needed only we plan to be on at the same time. For the foreseeable future, we will not be playing at the same time. So no exception is needed.

For transfers, it sounds best to have the assistance of friends and stuff stays on the ground for a few minutes. No one every answered about using forges, ovens, kilns, looms, etc for transfers. Do items ever decay in them? (besides server resets) Also someone brought up a good point about the number of tradeskills one can have over 100, I thought the limit was only one skill over 200.

As far as downloading an illegal copy of titanium, I would prefer not to do that. Would anyone familiar with SoF please tell me if they had any additional problems getting EQ running and if they notice anything different in the game because they used SoF instead of Titanium? The $65 - $70 savings of SoF is significant to me.

As for what class to play, I am going to rephrase my question. Thank you for telling me to play the class I enjoy. I agree, that is very important. I mentioned 5 classes previously. I am thinking about starting a cleric. I am still considering the other 4 classes I mentioned though. My question now is: Is it easier for clerics to get groups that most other classes. Also, do the raiding guilds need more clerics?

Of the classes listed I'd rate them in this order for ease of getting groups. Cleric, Enchanter, Bard, Rogue and then Warrior.

Also this is situation depending on what zone your LFG in.

Clerics are in massive demand. For raiding and grouping. If you enjoy playing a cleric you will have no issue finding groups. I find clerics and warriors are the hardest to come by for groups. But I'm a bard so I don't run into the Bard/Ench issue.

When it comes to the differences between the Titanium and Secrets of Faydwer clients, I can offer no advice as I've gotten neither myself. But, due to the rarity of Titanium and the price tag associated with the ones I can find, I'll likely be getting SoF and I get let you know how it works out for me. As some others may have pointed out, there's other ways of ..erm.. acquiring .. Titanium, but I wouldn't recommend it. However unlikely the proposition of getting in hot water for using that method, it's still possible. I did a lot of stuff like that up until recently, when my ISP threatened to shut down my internet for torrenting a game I actually own.

I don't know how putting items in crafting objects works, I've never done it, but when I played EQ Live, I can distinctly remember many occasions where I just put something on the ground, logged out & back in, and retrieved it without it suddenly disappearing or getting picked up. The only instance I recall where that didn't work was when I did it near the Freeport bank.. and it was a very bad choice of location of my part.

As for classes, The Cleric and the Warrior are definitely going to get you in the groups, and Enchanters and Bards stand a good chance. I know a good Enchanter is always welcome, and when I played EQ up until GoD a Bard generally was high in demand. I don't see why a Rogue wouldn't get many groups, but I never got too far into a Rogue so I can't say for sure. The Rogue and Warrior may have some difficulty later on if they can't find a group, but I don't think that will be a problem, especially for the warrior. I can safely say that I leveled my Half-Elf Warrior up to 40 with soloing (and the occasional group) and the original and Kunark-expansion zones. It only took forever.

For raiding, I'd say a Wizard, Cleric, or Warrior.. Cleric or Warrior given your list. Unfortunately, I haven't raided on P99 yet, so don't take my word for it, that's just my assumption.
