What did you learn from the first Green? Let's chat!

Plus things move quickly and before you know it, dungeon population is already declining. The XP Highway is alive and thriving initially so having a melee with anything for gear works. But as time goes on it's tough to find a group, or you're stuck traveling place to place (brutal as a melee without at least an OT hammer), or people start to expect you to have a certain level of gear. By the time you've gotten your farming character to 50 and have the plat to start gearing a melee, you're probably on the verge of Kunark already.

druid is the best starting character you can have

as someone who never played on blue (yea, I'm from red). I learned that 30% of you are cool, and normal, 20% of you just want to be left alone to do your thing, and 50% of you are passive aggressive clowns.

I had always followed the server rules (as I do on red) and received pretty much daily tells telling me I had been petitioned. I never heard from a gm or guide, so guessing alot of you were full of shit, or just wrong.

After 8+ years on red you guys managed to grief me off of green after maybe 2 months with your pseudo aggressive wanna be e-thug mentality.

On red at least you have the option to spend the next 10 years following someone around reminding them what a clown they were.

Be a melee if you want group invites.

DE ENC for the win and the ultravision.

The great thing about maining a cleric is you won’t get asked to switch to a cleric (unpess another better levelled/geared cleric is available to borrow).

I learned not to roll a poverty class first.

Went with half-elf ranger to make a "bad" character as a fresh-start challenge. Solo'd and duo'd almost exclusively to 40 and had a blast with it. However, I'm extremely limited in my money-making potential. Had I rolled a pet class, enchanter, or shaman I could solo valuable camps for gear/cash to fund raid consumables and alt gear.

After hitting 50 in classic era (with that sweet sweet ranger xp penalty), my playtime took a dive due to real life becoming busy, making it hard to play for more than an hour or two at a time. This would have been well suited to a solo oriented class, and is why I'm still only 57 this late into Velious.

tl;dr - If I don't just stay on blue after the merge, I'll roll enchanter on the next iteration.

mostly that people are shitters and the game is designed to maximize player shittiness

o also that paladin is a really fun group class

With nerfed quest exp, the first 20 levels are grindier than the last 20 levels.
