i was in your position a while ago! this game is very daunting and blurry when you're new, mainly because it tells you nothing and refuses to hold your hand, and because it's practically unplayable without the wiki to a mind that's been spoiled by world of warcraft and ffxiv's passive waypoint quest systems
i wrote a short article on what will stand out if you're recently discovering everquest from the perspective of an ex-wow player:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Midoo's...r_WoW_Refugees
also here's the p99 wiki repository for all the popular leveling spots:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide (have had this bookmarked for the last 7 years and still reference it frequently)
lastly remember to google "zone connection map p99" for the game's world map and to look up the p99 wiki page for your favorite class.. have them both open while playing for reference
as for grouping, people are very friendly to new blood and there's always a daily torrent of new alt accounts looking for groups to level. you can /who in a specific zone or /who all X Y for a list of all players serverwide within a specific level bracket. don't hesitate to reach out on discord
