Halas is one of the most isolated starting spots, and going Barbarian means you'll be blind at night, which can really suck. You probably won't be seeing a lot of other players nearby. Blackburrow is the nearest newbie dungeon. If you're not having fun, don't be afraid of changing it up.

It's missing quite a few:
Friendly Druids is the biggest leveling guild. It's kinda chaotic and leaderless. The leader invites people en-masse in the newbie leveling areas but is otherwise inactive. Good place to ask questions and talk to other completely-new people. No organized events, and because it's kinda anything-goes there's a couple of real weird people who might be unpleasant.
Mutiny split from Friendly Druids, wanting a more active leadership with more guild events. Still quite casual I think.
Denial is one of the newer, smaller guilds. I think a lot of them stream on Twitch. The ones I've talked to seem nice.
Lineage is a newish raiding guild. They're in the draft, which means they've killed some hard targets and compete with the other hardcore guilds for first-to-engage.
Syndicate is the newest raiding guild. They haven't yet qualified for the draft, so they're still up-and-coming with a lot of targets still out of reach. They're in an alliance with Lineage, so they raid together as well as having their own separate raid events. Best introduction to the raiding scene IMO, which can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Good Eggs is a leveling guild that I believe has some sort of loose connection to Good Guys, a raiding guild.
I'd recommend joining Friendly Druids at first. It's a good place to ask questions and find other newbies to group with. Then after you've gotten used to EQ and have met a couple people from various other guilds you'll be better placed to think about what guild might be a good longer-term fit.
Post your character name so people can reach out in game! I know I've got a decent newbie weapon I'd give you.
