So I figured I'd give Everquest a try, the only thing is I hear this game is really group oriented so I was wondering what would be the best sever for a new player to start on? I plan on playing a Beastmaster, so i figure i can solo with that class hopefully, but it would be nice to play with others. Any suggestions?
Take a look at the server status page, and pick one that shows high population at your play times. Having said that, the newest server is Vox, which should still have a wider level spread, and therefore better grouping opportunities. Make sure that you hire a tank merc ASAP, start in the tutorial zone (Gloomingdeep), and take a look at the Hero's Journey quests to get you started. Also see the guides in my sig, and pay attention to the various links FAQ sidebars for anything else you need. Beastlords solo fairly well up to the low 70s, then go through a rough patch for a few levels, then get better again. All classes can solo with a merc fairly well, some better than others, although as you hit the content of the current expansion, you will start to need a group to progress.

We are current in the Planes of Power expansion and lvl capped at 65.
