For these 'Choose My Adventure' episodes, the players decide to a large degree by votes what the reviewer should do. So definitely say Crom, as she can still find opportunities to PvP if she wishes.
The players also need to decide what class for her to play. I usually suggest newbies try a caster to get their feet wet but she's a TSW regular so can handle some complexity, so maybe point to a melee char to showcase the unique melee combat system AoC has.

This.
In the beginning I got a number of people to try AoC and almost invariably they picked necro for some demented reason and of course X amount of levels later they quit saying it's the most boring thing ever.
Now I always suggest barb, hox or conq as a first character unless they just really, really want to play a caster type.
From what I've seen a lot of negative reviews from back in the day were from reviewers who played as a necro as well. But that's certainly not a scientific study or anything.
She'll have to turn off Global Chat for sure. And yes; keep her off the PvP server~ wouldn't want to give them the impression that AoC has any element of THAT ...
... and that's even if they bother; considering the obviously padded voting by lame-asses who use ways to vote 100s of times.

@SalamiKarate If game communities join together to push for their game that's not rigging it and is perfectly acceptable. A game that encourages its community to vote is fine. The only time it's not OK is when any game supports multiple voting/cheating.
I'd recommend she try one of the classes that have both mana and stamina bars - DT/BS/HoX - she should be able to manage those and they are more complex and interesting than some other classes which are little different than in other MMO's.

Looks like AoC locked it in. When is MJ gonna start playing?
