I was an EQ2 player right at release and played for several months, though never past level 41.  I abandoned EQ2 at the time to join the majority of my friends in WoW.  I loved WoW and levelled several characters to max level and did a moderate amount of raiding.  I left WoW a few months ago, primarily because I got bored with it and many of my friends left.Looking for a new game, nothing caught my interest, so I thought I would go back to EQ2 and see how the world of Norrath is fairing.  I want to start fresh, so I will be creating a new character.  I am going to try a fae, though I hear Gorowyn is a great city.  I have bought RoK so I should be caught up on all the expansions.My decisions are as follows:  I am going to be mostly a time limited casual player.I LOVE to group, but I understand that due to my time constraints (job, family, grad school), I will be soloing often, in small time portions.I will be looking for a guild that is easy going and welcoming to my time issues and that likes to group when possible.I need a class that can travel to and from city areas and adventure areas quickly so that my limited time is not completely consumed by travel.I need a class that is strong in the solo department but has a fun group dynamic (to meet the above time issues).Right now I am wavering between the Illusionist and the Dirge.  Both of them because they seem group friendly.  The Illusionist seems like a stronger soloist, but the Dirge a better traveler.  I am open to other suggestions as well!Any recommendations for class, server or guild would be welcomed!Thanks!

Might sound silly, but I suggest you to make a warden for your travelling issues!Level it as far as you need to use the druid rings (incl. the ability to open portals); I think it has to be around lvl 20 or so (should be done in 1 day), and then start to level an Illy, imo a fantastic class for soloing and always welcome in groups/raids!The time a portal stays open is enough for you to log from your warden to your Illy! If you find an intelligent point to "park" your warden, it should work fine!  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/97ada74b88049a6d50a6ed40898a03d7.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> Alright, let´s cut the crap: I miss the abilitys to make portals to several spots, evac etc. with my Illy, but on the other hand it´s really a great class! Don´t know on which facts you´re looking in first place, but if you could get rid of your wish to travel like a dirge, you´ll enjoy the Illy! Pet, enough DPS to even conquer mobs that are higher than you etc.!
