Anyhow I want to play either a warrior or a shadowknight but really don't know how to begin (this was always my issue way back when... I didn't know how to start).
I'd love the solo potential of the shadowknight class, and I think that it would be the best fit for me (I'm a night person). However there is something about the warrior that is pleasing to me... I always enjoyed playing it.

anyhow I've got some time to kill today and was hoping for an opinion/conversation about it all

also how does one go about gearing up/making money in the beginning in my last venture into EQ (when they had the free period for old subscribers so I rerolled) it was pretty damn hard to do anything
