I was wondering a few things while I wait for the 2800 patches to download hehe...
My playstyle is going solo and being very self-reliant. What standard job and later extra job would you recommend for me ? To make a comparison, when I played SWG I was a TKM / Doc so was able to buff, heal, cure wounds, and solo 99% of mobs in game.
Also, Im into PvE so would prefer something more suited to that. If there even is PvP in this game I wouldnt ever participate.
So ultimately I guess Im looking for the best solo PvE template that would allow me to stay out burning up xp like crazy 
ps. any recommendations on highly crowded servers with a lot of english speaking players ?

I think Im leaning towards Monk and followed by Paladin. Seems like it would be similiar to swg tkm/doc in that I'd be tough as nails and able to heal myself. Ideal for someone like me who doesnt want to spend all his time buying/hunting/looting/repairing armor and weapons. Plus the heal skills of a paladin would allow me to tackle harder mobs.
Otherwise, if this template would suck for solo PvE play Im open to suggestions.
You have to understand, in this game you can solo to lvl 10-11 and after that you have to get into a party in order to get good exp. You should probably go for rdm/whm or rdm/blm.
Also, to get pld you need to be at least lvl 30 with any job.
I am kinda like yourself and dont really like to rely on others in the game,but it is a must in this game.
Everything is dependant on levelling up.You can at the most level to 20 alone.After that the experience will be very slow and take forever,and one mistake like an aggro death u lose it all.
You really have to plan your whole future from the very beginning.The advanced classes are much better than the regualr ones ,so decide wich advanced you plan on taking on.
Dark knights/ranger/dragoon are very powerful attackers.>>mythra/elven are great for these .
Bard is still and maybe always will be under rated,a great class and are best used as a taru.
Red mage is a very versatile class in the higher levels,and again best used as a taru.
paladin are great tanks[defensive]players and are best as a galka.
The one class that i think ruins the equalization of the game,is the Ninja.It is too powerful and abuses the battle system.They can wield 2 weapons,have utsusemi wich virtually makes them invincible for 3 hits.You get 2 ninja or subbed ninja tanking together ,the battle becomes ridiculously easy.And i would wager a bet,that 90% of the players in the game did not earn the ninja class,they merely had there higher linkshell members aid there quest,and make a joke outa earning the job.
Summoner is another powerful/versatile job,but is supposed to be difficult,to get the avatars,however like the ninja it becomes a high level player/s playing the game for you.,to get them.
anyhow,there is your choices,IMO a ranger/nin or nin/rang is a very good job to strive for in the game.good luck on whatever you decide.
