Both are pretty over-powered when it comes to various ways that they could kill their opponent. Very much so, melee classes are far more easy to play than caster classes. Roque being the hardest melee, enchanter being the hardest caster. Warriors are by far the easist to play, enchanters and necromancers the hardest . Enchanters have trouble getting into a group earlier on, but at higher levels are the most valuable.
Necromancers are hard to play, but by far the most powerful.
The numeric data for gender-bending were perhaps the most interesting, and admittedly most surprising, piece of quantifiable data found from this survey. I would have expected gender differences in gender-bending rates, though I would not have gone so far as to hypothesize one way or the other. Doing a little math , we find out that about 1 out of 2 female characters is played by a female player. Of every two female characters you meet in EQ, one of them is likely to be played by a male player. This is particularly amusing when we discuss gender dynamics in the game later on.
