EQEmulator Forums - Help with where I should level up

I am currently playing on the project 1999 server, for some reason my account over there was never activated and I never received an email so I cannot post there. I am only a 7th level necro I have found that killing monsters in the Nek forest has become all of the sudden full of greens and a few dark blues. I don't have very good gear at all, so my mana melts down like a stick of butter in a microwave. I was wondering where I should attempt to level. I am a returning veteran from the live servers I quit when I played a rogue to 70 and a necro to 39. I haven't played in several years so my memory is sort of foggy when it comes to this type of stuff. I'd appreciate any help that can point me in the right direction.
