If you think you will like it and play a lot, then just go for it (I know you are good friends with Shauna and Matt and both play the game quite a bit).
Starting class doesn't really matter because once you reach level 10 and do your class quest you can change class by changing weapons. Also, none of the races have any significant or impactful stat differences so just go for aesthetics!
Oh and essentially he whole game is a giant tutorial until you hit 50 as far as mechanics are concern. Once you hit 50, most jobs have a full selection of skills and you really get a feel for them.
I've played MMOs in the past and enjoy them. I might not be GOOD at them...but I have fun.
