Farming cool items.

[Toehammer]

I strongly suggest playing a class that is not too complicated if it is your first time playing. I think enchanter wouldn't be the best choice.

Shaman is pretty straightforward (my favorite class actually). You can attack a little bit, heal a little bit, buff a little bit. Once you get regeneration spells, cannibalize, and slow, you will understand the class.

Druid is also worth mentioning, as you have teleport spells, so you can see the world and get to learn all about Norrath. Druid can be fun I think as a first class.

Whatever class you are, team up with someone as soon as possible... grouping is the best way to learn about EQ and have the most fun. 95% of people on these servers are pretty cool if you ask questions, so don't be shy.
