-First off, to those who have played EQ2 and Wow, which one was better
That concept has given birth to 400+ post threads on this forum. It really comes down to the fact that one is not better than the other, just different. WoW is more of a cartoon feel to the graphics, while EQ2 is more realistic. In both games you pretty much do the same thing...fight, quest, loot, win, die. WoW has been described as easier to level than EQ2.

-Next is if you have to pay by credit card or is there game cards like World of Warcraft?
I'm pretty sure there are game cards you can buy and use.

-I want your opinions on which class is the best,..
Classes are broken down like this:
Tanks: Your fighters are desiged to stand up front with the mob and duke it out.
DPS: That's your Scouts and Mages. They can dish it out but can't necessarily take it - especially Mages.
Healers: Those are the priests that do their priest thing...heal.
Within each of these groups are variations to the class. For example, in the Fighter group, a Guardian is heavily armored, can take a beating, but has low DPS. Another fighter is a Monk, that uses martial arts to deal much higher damage, and relies on avoidance to not get hit.
In the Mage food group you have Wiards that are at the high end of DPS for anyone, laying devastating damage spells. And then there are Illusionists, that can mezmerize a mob in it's tracks and even charm it to have it fight for the Mage.
For Scouts there are Rangers that are masters of a bow and deal high damage that way. You also have Troubadors, that use music and songs to charm, beguils, buff, and strike down opponents.
There are a total of 24 different classes, each with their own abilities and spell lines.

the best way to level
Get in a group and run through heroic mobs. You COULD easily solo your way to the max level with all the solo content, but it would be a little slower with less valuable loot drops.

easiest way of making money
There is no guarenteed way to make a ton of cash, otherwise I'd be doing it. The basic ways to make money are:
- Sell your loot drops to the merchants.
- Put your loot drops on the public market for other players to buy.
- Take up an artisan class and sell your crafted wares to other players.
I've seen a 3-boxer (1 person playing 3 computers, each with a character) runthrough a hunting area I've been in, wiping it clean in clockwork fashion. I was able to talk to him briefly...he said he makes 14 plat in 12 hours of play, and hands it all to "the boss". I figured him to be a sweat-shop account, scooping up money for 3rd party plat sellers.
Artisan and crafting takes up time and is not very exciting, so it may not be your thing.
