I only started from Everquest 2, back in the 'glory days' of the Everquest era. I'm trying to roll as an Ogre Warrior for my first character, but I don't understand how to advance from my starting city.
As was mentioned already, use the map of Oggok here: http://wiki.project1999.com/Oggok to get out of town.

Once you are out you will be in the jungle known as the Feerott ... which also has a map (http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Feerrott).Walk out in to the Feerott and you'll see some huts that look like the ones from Oggok; as soon as you get past these you will be in "the wild" and will start seeing monsters around.

Again, as mentioned, you're going to want to find monsters you can kill that can't kill you, and you can do that by:

A) right-clicking on them
B) left-clicking on them and typing "/con"

This will show you the mob's "con" (ie. color). At level 1 you want other level 1 monsters or even/"white" con monsters. You might survive fighting yellow ("slightly above your level") monsters, but it will be tough.

Once you find a white-con monster (eg. a spiderling) left-click it, move next to it, and then click your attack button (on your hotkeys bar) or hit whatever key is mapped by default for auto-attack (I changed mine so I'm not sure; might be "a"). This will start you fighting the monster. When the monster starts getting low on life, it might run; if it does chase after it, as you need to be next to it to hit it.

When you're done, if your life is down you can site (/sit) to rest and recover it. Once its recovered, go kill something else, and repeat until you level. Then keep repeating ... because that's EQ in a nutshell (though of course things get more interesting as you progress) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

P.S. After you kill something you can right-click it's body to see if it had any loot on it. The game will bring up some boxes, and if there's any loot in those boxes you can-right click to take it. You can then bring that loot back to one of the NPC ogre merchants, right click on them to start trading, then left click your item and click sell to sell it.
