Some of this, not telling how much, is by design. They stagger people in so you don't have 10 picks of newbie zones and then 1 static city (because some cities don't spawn picks very easily or at all, IIRC) which would fuck everything up. Think they try to stagger large groups in so people can level in areas in waves and then slowly move out. That's the entire reason they moved to 3pm EST so early birders get in, then east coasters after work, then across NA.

I'm still undecided between DE Cleric or Troll Shaman to duo with my wife's Magician. Someone sell me on cleric over shaman!

Shamans are good for duoing with melee characters. Magician doesn't need a lot of the support that shaman provides. Cleric on the other hand can keep a tanking pet healed better in classic than a shaman can. Clr/Mag should be able to hold down a lot of different camps as a duo without too much trouble. You'll also never have trouble finding a group.

Launching 2 servers brought the entire game down, including their forums lmao

I think I got my characters made before crashing on load, but I forgot to reallocate points on the SK so he needs to be redone. I'm loving this true launch experience.

Got one character made before the whole thing came crashing down. I guess it gives me some more time to think about what race to make my cleric.

I'd go cleric. There's some overlap with shaman and the malo line. Plus you'll have resses and stun if the pet loses aggro.

I made it to level 3, but we all lost to the login boss. I was hoping they'd learn their lesson from the previous 20+ TLE servers (if you count EQ2)

That's something else I didn't think of. Stun is HUGE in classic. You'll want to be able to stun mobs that cast CH or Gate. Snare is also very important for runners, and an earth pet covers that, so a cleric covering stuns would mean you don't have to worry about runners OR healers/gates. Shaman wouldn't be able to give you the same insurance.
