I would highly recommend a solo class. It can be somewhat difficult once you hit about lvl 25ish to get a group now adays.
Also another word of advice would be make good use of the tutorial. Id do every quest you can find in there and spend time getting the newbie armor. After you lvl 10 you can do some more armor quests for your back, ears, shoulder, etc.
And don't sell spiderling silks or bonechips to merchants, those are worth money to players :p
Every time I look at merchants in newbie zones I find 100's of bonechips.
